[Buddha-l] Re: Petition on the Inclusion of Women's Voices(Parliament of the World's Religions)

[jkirk]

I didn't read the petition post because I'm against bothering with 
petitions. I've found, after years of political action of various sorts, 
that they are worthless so far as achieving results are concerned. Also, 
gigantic world organizations (bureaucracies) like the Parliament of the 
World's Religions IMHO are as effective as the UN--namely, practically nil 
effective (except for UNESCO, WHO, and maybe the FAO).
I'd of course be very interested to read about it if anyone could 
demonstrate that this Parliament achieves anything beneficial and for whom 
it achieves it. After all Buddhists are represented in this body. I wonder 
what they think they achieve from their membership other than travel and a 
fun convention.
