He is simply too gleeful over others' misfortunes - it is ugly and coarse, to me. As for the DL, yes, very much a worthless non-entity at this point, though as I have said, a very, very nice man. And "nice" and five bucks gets you a cup of coffee.:-)

The MUM/TMO administration obviously feels that it has the basic right to "discipline" human beings who work for the princely sum of $50 per month (with *maybe* another $150 going to their families) to force them to practice TM and do what they're told. They even issued a press release saying that more such "discipline" is planned. Well, they get room and board as well, and their contract, as far as I know, is to come to the USA and meditate and perform chants/rituals in exchange for room, board, and $200/month. If they're not keeping to the contract, the TM organization is under no obligation to keep them around and pay them. Or do you honestly believe that they should be kept here in the USA even though they aren't fulfilling the terms of their contract? If you DO honestly think that they should be paid to sit around and do nothing at all, when there are likely plenty of people back in India willing to come take their place, I'm quite interested in hearing your reasoning... Lawson, this is not the first time I have had occasion to question your sanity. Are you really trying to make a case that these pundits, most of whom were *sold* into indentured servitude by their parents as pre-teens (according to previous news reports, as early as age 8) have "entered into a contract" with the TMO and Girish & Co. To have compassion for the parents, the previous news reports have established that most of them were dirt-poor and unable to provide for their children, much less provide an education for them. They were promised, in addition to a monthly income of $150 for themselves (the average monthly income in India is $99) and room and board + $50 a month for the kids, an *education* for their kids, which *has not been provided*. No evidence has been presented to counteract the claims from pundits themselves that the *only* things taught to them were how to perform the chants. Are you *really* trying to make a case that children essentially sold into slavery by their own parents have an obligation to "fulfill their contract?" Even if you *are* trying to make this case, I'd like to hear you explain why they *wouldn't* practice TM. If it's as great as you've been claiming it is all these years, why aren't they *anxious* to sit and meditate twice a day and experience all that clarity and bliss? I'll wait for your answer. As for "plenty of people back in India willing to come take their place," thank you for establishing your credentials as a potential slave master yourself, willing to exploit young brown boys to create world peace for you. Reposting the Carl Sagan quote, because you -- more than almost anyone on this forum except for maybe Nabby -- personify it. Even *feste*, whose devotion to TM has never been in question, has been able to wake up and smell the coffee as the result of this sad demonstration of the ineffectiveness of the pundit program. Why haven't you? Have you got an explanation for this *other* than Mr. Sagan's quote? Another beautiful example why Bawwy is a social misfit, someone who dismisses anyone else who "dare" question his idiotic and mostly odious theories on how others operate. It is like Bawwy is deathly afraid to engage one on one without first getting out his protective suit of armour in the form of gratuitous, verbal violence. Take your Facebook graphics and go play somewhere else, jackass. Lawson is too smart for you anyway.
