Excerpts from the Tao: 
"The great Way is easy, 
yet people prefer the side paths, 
Be aware when things are out of balance. 
Stay centered within the Tao. 
When rich speculators prosper 
while farmers lose their land; 
when government officials spend money 
on weapons instead of cures; 
when the upper class is extravagant and irresponsible 
while the poor have nowhere to turn - 
all this is robbery and chaos. 
It is not in keeping with the Tao."

"All streams flow to the sea 
because it is lower than they are. 
Humility gives it its power. 
If you want to govern the people, 
you must place yourself below them. 
If you want to lead the people, 
you must learn how to follow them."

The people are beginning the recognize' slight of hand' 
acts of oppression. And, perhaps, too, sensing 
that they have been and are being manipulate. 

Food for thought. 
Tally Ho,
