 A lot of people believe that it’s good to greet strangers, but in my view, we should imitate angels by greeting people with silence. The Dalai Lama, being the lord of the oceans, should be the first individual to form and have his own sovereign nation in the sea, perhaps in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. This would solve the antagonism between the Tibetans and the Chinese, and would form the sapling for the eventual colonization of the oceans. What is going on in china and the Vatican is nothing less than the Chinese investiture controversy. We don’t know how that event will conclude, but it will obviously have profound implications. The before Hijra dates, abbreviated as BH, should be used far more extensively, and it’s once again saddening of the greater care that westerners have for Arabs that only they have used it, albeit only sparsely, whereas the Arabs never did. I might sound like the gadfly of earth, but start drilling in antarctica! Gid’s reward to us for doing that will be a research station on the moon.
