I don't know, I like to think so.

I'm pretty sure Lao Tzu would be interested is some of the things we talk
about and I'd certainly love to hear what he thought about them, to a lesser
degree the same is true of Buddha. Kabir didn't have the intellectual
firepower of a Lao Tzu but I'll bet he was a nice person, almost a
libertarian, can't say the same for his later followers, the Sikhs. It's hard
to say anything meaningful about Krishna, his incarnations seem contradictory
and it gets mighty confusing, I can't help thinking of him as a cartoon
character. If Socrates were on the list I doubt if I'd agree with him much,
but I would value him because the man was intelligent, knew how to argue, and
he had the ability to laugh at himself. If Jesus or Mohammed subscribed I'd
put them in my kill file along with the $$ MAKE BIG MONEY NOW $$ people.
