My sister, Madelane, just sent me this e-mail.

Last Saturday Cameron and I were downtown Seattle at the Peace Rally, that was quite interesting. While I was there I saw only one news camera. As compared to the week before down there for the memorial. Every where you looked there was either cameras, reporters or photographers. I've been reading in my "Wisdom of Tao" book and can't believe how relevent so much of it is to today. One that caught my eye was "...When the country falls into chaos, patriotism is born." The one I like is "Governing a large country is like frying a small fish. You spoil it with too much poking." The last one that I'll share with you is: "If a nation is centered in the Tao, if it nourishes its own people and doesn't meddle in the affairs of others, it will be a light to all nations in the world." For something that was written over two thousand years ago I felt that that hit the nail on the head.
