[Buddha-l] Big is beautiful (was: Review of a review)

[Franz Metcalf]

Timothy,

We still steal our water from the Colorado down here. I figure you do,  
too. But you are not such a drain on the land, up there. All these  
people in these dry lands: now that's a topical new slant on taṇhā/ 
tṛṣṇā (particularly Las Vegas; is that city not the perfect  
civic embodiment of Buddhist teaching on the various dimensions of  
"thirst"?).

BTW: In an entirely un-Buddhist and personal aside, is Wheelwright  
Associates named in honor of Joseph Wheelwright? My father and he  
taught together at UCSF for many years. My dad was in the Freudian  
camp (though more and more loosely over time), but he thought Joe was  
a deeply wise therapist and man.
