All the ballyhoo about Tibet, a place very few people are interested in, this stems from the hippy days of those pot smoking, goat skin wearing, floral VW driving, Jonn Lennon types (Who today wear pinstripe suits and saloon cars - and are running-ruining our nations) - yes, these types read 'Lobsang Rampa' silly books, and the way they rave on, you can conclude they have ALL THE ANSWERS!

Yet, here are they, with this godsend chance to have another 'Grievathon'. isn't it a hypocritical paradox, they rave on about China (give China a chance, it is trying), Yet these omniscient lama's and their western-PC pseudo followers just dont have any answers for this at all, Here they are telling us daily, in their pc 'Rationalisations' How they have all the answers, thanks to these lama's in ostentations religious regalila.

And herein lies the clue - the Politically Correct crowd just Love Religious regalia & pomp. I know someone well who is now a budhist monk, and raves on all the time. He had a heart attack recently, and was panic struck, as was his wife, they rang me constantly, I managed to reassure them well - and I am not a saffron robed lama ! See.. they're so full of religious ostentatious pomposity, seems they have forgotten the stark realities of real life and its real hurdles. Its easier to be a lama in the west than it is in Tibet, as we have the real, Christian rooted safety nets and not Tibet. China is simply wanting to rid all that religious bourgeoise and bring these stagnant lama's into the the present world.
