# The Dalai Lama is a Huckster and a Fraud

Today I’ve been lazy. Here’s something I posted to a guestbook about a
week ago:

(Ahem.)

"The Dalai Lama Is a Huckster and a Fraud

"The Dalai Lama wears Doc Martens. The Dalai Lama deserves our sympathy,
for he is persecuted by evil, odious China. The Dalai Lama is on good
terms with Richard Gere. The Dalai Lama has (I am told) an excellent
sense of humor and an hearty laugh. The Dalai Lama is a good guy. The
Dalai Lama is cool.

“The Dalai Lama believes in reincarnation. In reincarnation! The Dalai
Lama is the head of a sexist religion, a religion that takes young boys
from their parents to be brought up by monks. Why do we love the Dalai
Lama so?”

That’s it. Admittedly, the argument does sag a little towards the end.
