What R the numbers? In a message dated 4/2/2008 8:57:50 P.M. Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:
Doug, you make many good points about the dogmatism and the accepted bad behaviors of the TM Movement. What I can't understand is why so many people stay in a situation where there is so little respect and concern for them as indidviduals, and where they are living in poverty, or below the poverty line? And many of these people don't go to the dome, either. What is the point of hanging out in Fairfield, unless this is simply what they want for themselves? They may complain, but are actually comfortable with being miserable, or at least discontented. Why not stop complaining and just admit that Fairfield is a disappointment, but that is exactly what they want?
