Then you have not been to India and this was when? 40 years ago? You know what made money in parks before eco tourism?

The Beatles getting kicked out doesn't square with the majority of accounts or Maharishi's desire to use other people's fame for self promotion. > > > for the Tiger Shoot Special. > > > There are probably millions of tourists that go > on elephant rides in Indian wildlife preserves > - none of them go on 'Tiger Shoot Specials' in > Corbet Park. You're making stuff up, obviously. I'm pretty sure neither of us know about what the rules were that long ago. But of course I could be wrong, I often am. I just didn't buy her story. > > National Geographic photographers don't usually > go on 'tiger hunts', Curtis. But they do often > take shots of all kinds of wild animals with > cameras. And they never end up with a dead tiger at the end and a guilty conscience they have to discuss with a Maharishis do they?
