I never said they studied Theosophy and learned from it law of 
collective karma. To know laws of Nature it is not necessary to study 
Theosophy. By personal observation, study, experiences it is possible 
to know laws of Nature. This is how many of the laws are given by 
sciences. Many political thinkers and economists know the law what we 
call law of collective karma. 

My own analysis does not show me that Bush and his administration is 
as bad as you write. I would say it is good. 
If I give economic analysis and show why it is impossible to stop 
shifting of jobs abroad it will be too long.

I am talking about wisdom of policy makers and not average

There are other countries like Japan and many countries is Europe, 
especially NATO, interests of which America protects.

According to me good English is that which people easily understand, 
it conveys exact meaning what author has in mind to largest number of 
audience, without causing confusion in mind of readers. Good English 
is that which is written is a style prevalent and considered best at 
PRESENT. So a good English of 11 th century becomes bad English in 20 
th century. Leadbeater's writing is so.
Blavatsky failed in writing in such manner. Result dogma, confusion, 
speculation about what she means, no clarity and in general 
degradation of readers.

Who can tell with certainty. Beverly Hills people say we don't have 
character.
