Two thousand cents.

I found twenty dollars on the ground, which was the about the best thing that happened to me today.

Finding free money on the ground is always a cause for celebration. I had a quick look around hoping that maybe there was a little more.

Months ago I lost fifty dollars. I’m sure that someone picked it up. By the law of karma then, I should be getting ten times that back. So I look forward to finding another $480 on the ground in the near future. God knows, I really could use the money as the Government keeps taxing me up to the eye balls.

This is the opposite of what the Chinese Government does to the Tibetan region. They exempt them completely from taxation and provide around 90% Tibetan revenues.

You’d think that people who are so well taken care of would be a little more grateful.

It is a little known fact, like most of the waffle that floats around about Tibet – the ultimate in soy latte causes – that before the Chinese it was a feudal Theocracy, and the Dalai Lama lived like a King while the population starved and groaned under the tithes they were to provide to local temples.

For most people, it is really easy to like the Dalai Lama. I’m sure he is a lovely chap. For me, it an abhorrence that liberal thinkers would seek to demand the Chinese Government return control of a region to someone who is “elected” only by divine right.

The Chinese don’t have a lot right. But at least it is a Government of this Earth.

Speaking of God, I was talking to someone today and said that in the next life I was going to make everyone pay.

The way I see, being the benevolent being that I am, I will be going to Heaven. And as Heaven is a place where you get to do what you want to do all the time, I’m going to gut every single one of you bastards with a paring knife for all of eternity.

I look forward to seeing you all in time.

Above: My paring knife is going to get very blunt.
