Theos-Talk Archives (August 2002 Message tt00033)

Larry,

My comment was slightly tongue in cheek -- thinking that this was a 
theosophical discussion group, not a political one. But from a political 
point of view, I think Bart, in his answer to my question and your 
(left/right addendium) comment, covered it pretty well. However, from a 
theosophical view, don't we consider the black magicians -- vide; the current 
materialist concepts behind corporate greed promulgated by business schools 
(such as the one at Harvard) -- as being the "left hand" or "sinister" path? 
Since they also serve the "right wing" (conservatives) I thought the 
misdirection implied through the misuse of such potent mantric words in 
different contexts was worth pointing out as food for thought... (Don't we 
all write our comments hopefully for the benefit of the lurkers on these 
lists? :-)
