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?
