Hey, I'm a moodmaking Buddhist 200%-er. 
If you're gonna impress me, you need the
mantra that takes the flood waters and 
not *only* makes the water disappear, but 
picks it up and moves it to drought areas 
where it's needed. 

None of these twiffy "Make the problem go 
away for us but fuck the rest of the world" 
mantras for me!  :-)
