Yes your right its a crappy analogy.
I was trying to think of a better one when I wrote it, but then I
got lazy and thought 'screw it' , hopefully people like dogs enough
not to take it badly.
I like dogs.
Can you think of a better , but similar, analogy? (word game , word
game only...no judgment)

It would be funny if all TM'rs left Fairfield suddenly. Fairfield
would be a deadzone nowhere place. Even many non-meditators would
leave eventually.
All that would be left are the old time Fairfielders, some crack
addicts, and all the gurus would fade away back to where they came
from.
Enough said.
