The Dalai Lama credits capitalism for some freedoms, but he says he doesn’t practice it himself because he’s a Marxist:

Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has said that he is a Marxist, yet credits capitalism for bringing new freedoms to the communist country that exiled him — China.

“Still I am a Marxist,” the exiled Tibetan Buddhist leader said in New York, where he arrived with an entourage of robed monks and a heavy security detail to give a series of paid public lectures.

Marxism has “moral ethics, whereas capitalism is only how to make profits,” the Dalai Lama, 74, said yesterday.

So capitalism isn’t his bag. However, “when in Rome…”:

Big hitter, the Lama… long.

For some reason I’m thinking that the Dalai Lama would probably get along great with Michael Moore and Al Gore.

Maybe if Obama had known about this sooner he wouldn’t have had the Dalai Lama taken out of the White House through the garbage exit.
