Yes, I know that.  But there are an abundance of translations available for 
it.  Just do a net search and you'll find at least a dozen.  Sure, they're 
mostly slanted along Western Christian lines.  But hey, it's Open Source, 
right?  Anyone can come along later and correct it :-).

It's not a `holy writ', like the Bible; it's merely ancient words of 
wisdom.  It matters not if a few connotations are lost, or more added.

A show of hands from people living in predominantly Taoist (or even 
Buddhist) territory perhaps?
