Uh, huh.  If he really were paying attention to a Zen master, he would 
not have said that John McCain was a "second rate" prisoner of war for 
breaking under torture in a North Vietnamese prison.  Not cool.  Not 
Zen.  Tthough perhaps you found that insightful and delightful.

They see the light, my friend, but the light they are walking  towards 
is

the oncoming train.  You cannot save Art when Art  will not allow you 
to

save

him.  As my Zen master would say,  don't hate him.  Just don't  attach

yourself to him for the rest  of eternity.  I know you are  altruistic, 
but

there

are plenty  of others who deserve your attention a lot  more.



Let me put it in  a more lighthearted way:  there was once two friends  
in

the  woods.  they saw a bear, and both started running.  One   suddenly

stopped

to tie up her shoelaces.  She thought she didn;t  have to  run faster 
than

the bear, only faster than her friend.



The moral of the story is when your "friend" refuses to run, don't  
stop,

Billee.  You may have to go back and identify the body  later.



peace,
