Or maybe not. Note once again the astounding *moral equivalence* inherent in Rick's vacuuous little speculation: between a hypocritical phony completely lacking in any scruples about fairness and honesty, and the person who is calling attention to his behavior-- neither, in Rick's mind, apparently more deserving of criticism or judgment than the other (although what criticism there is typically is directed at me). Say, why don't we all relax and allow the Bushies to be what they are without criticism or judgment? And Al Qaeda too, while we're at it? How about we relax and allow Maharishi be what he is without criticism or judgment? Or Bevan? Or Sai Baba or Sri Chinmoy or Muktananda? Let's just ignore all ethical lapses lest we get in the way of our own precious enlightenment. Yeah, that's the ticket.
