Rain soddens what is kept wrapped up,
But never soddens what is open;
Uncover, then, what is concealed,
Lest it be soddened by the rain.

It is from the Warm Fuzzy Fluffy Bunny It is all the Same Discourse chapter 789 section 998.

What is the use of his knowledge
pertaining to the number of insects in the whole world?
Rather, inquire into his knowledge of
that which is to be practised by us

Thank you Tilt,

I was just trying to reduce the typical 'free-for-all' argument down to its pure form unadulterated by social nicety and Buddhistic content..

By the way, I reserve the right to use the above video for use as refutation or moderator admonishment!

I think I'll get me one of these: http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/stor ... 16,00.html
for a pet!
Cheers

You can't expect to wield supreme executive power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you.
