I had a funny thought about the dali lama.....

[liberalitch]

He could make a tape saying "Hey, You'd better convert to buddhism.... or else."

When asked or else what he could say something funny but ultimately Zen like.... "I don't know... It seemed like the thing to say."

1. It'd be funny, because

I'm pretty sure he'd like to avoid having people convert out of fear.

It's as bad an idea as voting for someone out of fear.
