From the Mailbag....
It is not a good thing for a monk to be reborn as a bird....it indicates some seriously negative karma formation in the monk's life.... And reincarnation is an incorrect term....rebirth is proper...

Occupy Offshoot Blockades Home to Save South Park Man From Eviction.
Wow, I only have to read the papers from last year to see that there was a surplus of houses on the market. There are a lot of "for sale" signs taken down, but the houses did not sell. They are now privately listed bank foreclosures for sale into the wholesale housing market. That is, they are mainly for speculation by investors. This housing surplus is fast becoming the next layer of rental properties controlled by large corporate entities. I think the perceptions around the housing markets are manipulated by the real estate industry to market houses and loans.

The Most Racially Intolerant Countries in the World?.
Charles, please check out Amsterdam. The city is one of (if not THE most) crowded cities in the world. It is also one of the most culturally diverse. The Hollanders seem to have found a solution that no one else sees. Racism is less there than anywhere I have traveled around this globe... If people have what they need, the density and the mix are far less important. Amsterdam fulfills peoples needs better than any other city I have seen.

Morning News: KFC, Pot, Dog Attacks, and Smart Rifles.
Some other scientists who actually understand pig shit (Ours apparently don't know shit) have developed systems to capture the methane from pig shit and use it for heating, cooking and tractor fuel. Look for a Chinese manufactured shit eating methane generator to come to your farm supply store soon....
