"A great many founts of authority, from the Royal Society to the UN, most heads of government along with countless captains of industry, learned professors, commentators and journalists will be profoundly embarrassed. Let us hope it is a prolonged and chastening experience.
With catastrophe off the agenda, for most people the fog of millennial gloom will lift, at least until attention turns to the prospect of the next ice age. Among the better educated, the sceptical cast of mind that is the basis of empiricism will once again be back in fashion. The delusion that by recycling and catching public transport we can help save the planet will quickly come to be seen for the childish nonsense it was all along."

ReplyDeleteOn the second thought, Crack, it may not be as important who's bowing how deeply to whom perhaps. Besides, we do not know what happened a minute before this snapshot was taken -- maybe she did bow properly, after all. ;)
And Dalai Lama is so westernized now that I doubt he minds bowing this way or another. JMO.
