[Buddha-l] Privatizing Mongolian yacks

[Joy Vriens]

The taking what is not given (adatt?d?na), as defined in the Buddhist 
canon, obviously doesn’t cover political notions of trying to extend 
rights (by one party) or to reduce them (by the other). Both parties 
will accuse the other of « thieving » and « stealing ». Some (Occupy, 
Indignés) describe the battle of « access » as one between « 1% » and « 
99% » of the population. What is at stake is the justice of a system 
(dharma?).

Naomi Klein (Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives), author of « The 
Shock Doctrine », gave a lecture (in 6 parts) on her book, available on 
Youtube. It will give an idea and try to make more visible what tries to 
remain invisible. On the one hand there is a limitation of « access » to 
a decreasing number of happy few, wheras on the other hand the privacy 
rights of individuals have to yield (Stellar Wind).
