I'm grateful that there is a 'cute as a button' spokesman for moderates.

Harmony is the message, and the applause from the audience seems to indicate agreement.

yes, harmony. it's a neat gig: the born-leader of a feudal state preaching harmony. naturally he preaches harmony. he wouldn't want to find himself on the bottom of the pile that he rules, so he asks that everyone just relax and accept things.

you've covered lama, gandhi and saint T. .. i can only assume Oprah is next up..

hucksters. all of them.
