China is whinging about the Dalai Lama's succession again . It is beyond ridiculous. They're talking about a guy so adroit that he can choose when and where to be born. None of the people squabbling over this issue have that level of skill. They can just forget manipulating him. It makes them look pathetic. All they're arguing over, really, is the fact that China wants to name a sockpuppet and the Tibetans would like some hints on his actual plans. Which he's not enthusiastic about, and I can't say I blame him. But if he does come back, I don't think it'll be hard to spot him. After all, people that evolved stick out. I think he'll go right back to kicking China in the cooch
