The *1sttube aspect should not be left unmentioned..:) if it weren't a live incident he would've been more angry probably..

Sand art is also only temporal..
Tibetian sand mandalas are impermanent as well:

I don't see anything in the posting guidelines about descriptive tagging, maybe a note there would be helpful.

Even with vigilant tagging there are still clusterfucks:

And in other cases there's just a lack of searching previous posts:

I don't want to hijack your thread, but it seems like the much called for *merge feature is needed. Maybe in version 3.2?

...the two year old acted perfectly...fox news (shudder) attempted to tell this cute story with the desired effect being, "aww crap! we're buddhists, so we just gotta take it with a smile"...while people comment on parenting skills, the terrible two's, and how much it would suck to have to start over...

...meanwhile they are missing the lesson...the sand arts destruction is kinda the point, or at least a large part of the point...living in the present in action...any true adept would not be phased by it...but...basically a two year old got the monks on fox news, which probably increased the donations ten fold...way to go deuce-zilla...

ps. rupert murdoch needs to stop buying media outlets...

Very interesting story, Fox is annoying as hell, they could have focused on some more stuff besides the sand art (which was awesome by itself) but it was a good piece, surprising for Fox.
