I don't hate TM. I think the org is incredibly flawed and completely out of touch with reality. I think TM is a great meditation technique that should be made available at a reasonable price. Clearly, very few people are interested in learning TM for $2500, and I seriously doubt that opening up for business in malls and fancy Peace Palaces will boost sales if the price remains the same. As for giving money, our last donation was for tearing down some pods, and that was a year or two ago. If I wasn't married, I wouldn't be giving money to MUM, but I'm ok with Petra's desire to give money to MUM, provided that it's for nuts'n'bolts kind of stuff, like infrastructure improvements. I'd rather not give money to support invisible pink pandits or other projects where the funds are wired off to International, never to be seen again or ever accounted for. > Why is your picture on fundraising materials? Because Petra asked me. My devotion lies with her, not with MMY or the TMO. Besides, taking the first bite out of the LC with that throbbing diesel destructo-cruncher was a friggin' blast. That big-ass grin on my face was real, man. > Why are you still married if your a fag? Love. Something you obviously know very little about.
