Government outrage

.
We certainly ought not to just allow anyone to abuse the right to die and be reincarnated without proper government approval, no doubt in triplicate.

The government of China, which claims control of Tibet despite the region's vigorous culture of independence, announced in August that it would henceforth require Tibet's "living Buddhas" (special clergy believed to be continuously reincarnated) to get permission from China's religious affairs officials before submitting their souls to be embodied in the future. The government acted, it said, because the reincarnation process needed to be managed better. [Agence France-Presse, 8-3-07]

This isn't the brightest moment to judge. When asked about which door to go in, the left for unprejudiced or the right to the prejudiced, it is always wise to go into the door marking prejudiced because the unprejudiced is locked.

I am prejudiced about prejudice, so I struggle with prejudice every day.
