You can be assured of it. We are entering post-absurdity when a moronic blogger has the sand to call the first gay candidate for the Presidency — a veteran, who has a legitimate shot — a sociopath. Politicians and money are synonymous. I love to remind santimonious leftists that Obama was at least partially installed by Goldman Sachs.

As someone with a theological background in Buddhist philosophical anthropology and thirty + years of practice, I find articles like this disheartening and disengenous. None of these quotes, as in ZERO — are attributable to the Pali canon from which Buddhist antiquity can be studied. Stop posting things like this. You just misled 10.8k people into thinking you know something about Buddhism. This is the problem with coaches — right. here.
