My question was merely rhetorical. Most "Faith & Religion" columns in West Coast papers include a diversity of religions, including Buddhism. However, this was one article I am betting is probably not going to get printed in any MSM paper.
Your second post shows a reference to a man immolating himself who is a Buddhist. I was trying to understand the point you were trying to make. It seems to me that you are denigrating Buddhism. What is YOUR point?
I was not denigrating Buddhism. I was merely presenting a graphic example of the title of this thread, and the subject of Ralph Alter's article.
Okay, I get it now. It's because it uses Buddhism as a way of slamming socialism. You are right, there.

Put together with your explanation I understand now. Thanks. Sorry if I offended. I really didn't know what you were getting at.
Enjoy your day. Ray
