George Will isn’t backing down, even as critics are “calling for [his] head.”
Will’s Washington Post column on sexual assault stirred up a great deal of controversy, as he acknowledged in an interview with C-SPAN published Friday.
“Today, for some reason … indignation is the default position of certain people in civic discourse,” he said. “They go from a standing start to fury in about 30 seconds.”
The internet has “erased the barriers of entry to public discourse,” Will said, which is good because more people can be involved in conversations, but it’s bad because a lot of those people aren’t that bright.
“Among the barriers of entry that have been reduced, is you don’t have to be able to read, write, or think,” he said. “You can just come in and shout and call names and carry on.”
In his controversial column and in the Friday interview, Will argued that progressives on college campuses are eroding centuries of legal precedent while feeding into misplaced fears about a “supposed campus epidemic of rape.”
Will criticized rape and sexual assault statistics put out by the Obama administration and blamed progressivism for potentially ruining the lives of young men who, rather than being clearly-defined rapists, are swimming in the ”sea of hormones and alcohol that gets [them] into so much trouble on campuses.”
If liberals truly take rape and sexual assault to be serious crimes, Will argued, they should not seek to blur distinctions between different kinds of assault, nor should they call, as the the Education Department has, for using the “preponderance of the evidence” standard in sexual assault cases.

Shambhala
The ancient legends tell us of the mystical kingdom of Shambhala in Tibet, which is reputed to be the only pure land on Earth. It is shaped like a giant lotus with eight petals and surrounded by snow-covered mountains. These mountains and supernatural forces shield Shambhala from the rest of the world so that only those humans who have pure karma may perceive it or reside there. The inhabitants lead a highly evolved spiritual life that is free from all suffering and strife, practicing daily the highest tantric teachings of The Buddha including the Vajrayana and Kalachakra.
The Buddha is said to have taught the Kalachakra Tantra at Dhanyakataka in South India. His main disciple, King Suchandra, subsequently took the teachings back to Shambhala where he built a magnificent Kalachakra mansion. According to the history, seven dharma kings followed him as rulers of Shambhala, after which the lineage holders or Kulika kings began. At the present time, Shambhala is ruled by the twenty-first lineage holder Kulika King.
There is a prophecy that the twenty-fifth and last Kulika King, Rudra Cakrin (AD 2327-), will usher in a golden age of perfection for mankind which will last a thousand years. At that time, huge numbers of human beings on Earth will be led to liberation and enlightenment.

Not self-proclaimed Geir Smith!!
The word Kālachakra is usually used to refer to a very complex teaching and practice in Tibetan Buddhism. Although the teaching is very advanced, esoteric, and difficult to comprehend, there is a tradition of offering it to large public audiences.
The Kālachakra tradition revolves around the concept of time (kāla) and cycles (chakra): from the cycles of the planets,[1] to the cycles of human breathing, it teaches the practice of working with the most subtle energies within one’s body on the path to enlightenment.
King of Shambhala is really Krinmati , and after geir smith learned after 28 years from that
quack religion of his, he did not graduate to any higher level, so they fired him, so now king
bubblehead is taking out his anger on POTUS.
Im beginning to get the big picture now, SHAMBHALA DOES NOT EXIST!, so geir smith is a
nothing, a nobody, he’s trying to find his identity after the Dalia Lama banned him.
you wont teach me the Kalachakra, then i’ll learn it on my own king bubblehead.
