Proper Gander, or Propaganda?

I use the recent hoopla about the Dalai Lama to learn a lesson. Never look too close at your heroes, but lead with logic and a dose of doubt. Believe half of what you see and none of what you hear is an old adage... Is it believe nothing until you verify. Scire(sciō) in Latin: to come to understand. Knowledge. Wisdom. Philo Sophia.
