Oh, all right! My Bad! Shame on Reed! Sigh.
I admit, that passage on Buddhism and economics in Asia really pissed me
off. I intentionally didn't write a response to it because I realized it
was "pushing one of my buttons" and I wasn't going to be constructive.
Waiting a day obviously didn't purge my bile. I'll try to be better next time.
