You made some good points and I appreciate them. But people should complain about the violence being perpetrated by fundamentalists (christian and muslim etc), and stop complaining about non-violence being perpetrated by what they are calling fundamentalists. Its the violence or non-violence of a group that counts....anyone complaining that a few people can't go to the dome is childish and laughable. If I want to smoke in a smoke free bar, I can't...thats life. If I want to swim nude in the public baths, I can't...thats life. Should I start waving my arms and shouting because my Pagan religion says I should be able to go nude anywhere I like to. No. Maharishi doesn't want other pactices in the Dome and that is his choice. People should get over it, otherwise I promise you, you will see me and my goat naked in the public pools soon !
