Bill, Chumlong advocated pious Buddhist life. Now you are saying he is part of the elites. That does not make sense, unless he gave up his previous view completely. Anthony

To: Zen_Forum@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, 25 December, 2008, 7:15 AM JMJM, Thanks for the wish about the unrest, but I think this will continue for a long, long time. It's basically a class power struggle between one group made up of Bangkok elites, the military and monarchists versus the uneducated rural population, especially in the north. The former group has the power of the military but the latter group has the voting majority. Thailand is also rife with corruption on all sides. The only thing holding the country together at all right now is the king. I think all this will continue to swirl around until the current king dies (he's 80 years old and in poor health, and has an unpopular son), and then Thailand might explode into a full scale civil war. My home is far enough away from Bangkok (5 hour drive) and in a rural area and up in the mountains. I don't think they'll be much real trouble here. Everyone here is too busy working and trying to feed their families to worry too much about who is prime minister. ....Bill!
