And with that, Jimbo, I just wanted to add to your little James Legge quote ... this one's from the Tao Te Ching:
"For this reason, the sage has a saying: 'I take no action, yet the people transform themselves; I am fond of stillness, yet the people correct themselves; I do not interfere in affairs, yet the people enrich themselves; I desire not to desire, yet the people of themselves become simple as unhuwn longs.'"
