And the people of Fairfield have to raise money to buy the pundits some winter clothes. Yeah, *that's* sure the "Age Of Enlightenment" most of us had in mind when we first heard the phrase. :-) Let's do the math together, group. Six new rajas, at a million dollars a pop. An estimated $50,000 (in the latest "begging press release") to buy winter clothes. Hmmmm...let's see... how much would that leave for the TM movement if they paid for the clothes themselves? 5,950,000 dollars. As opposed to 5,975,000 dollars given their plan to have the people of Fairfield provide $25K in "matching funds." As an example of where an organization's priorities lie, I think this little math exercise speaks volumes. Then again (trying for balance here, and to provide the Deva's advocate argument), we're probably not aware of all the *other* expenses that the TMO has to pay for the upkeep of the pundits. It's possible that they blew the whole 5,975,000 bucks already on barbed wire to keep the pundits in their compounds. :-)
