I don't live there, so I can't say. I'm sure it had a positive economic impact on the town, but I've also read here about the university using its clout to ban meetings of other spiritual groups, to ban people who attend meetings of other groups from the university and its meditation halls, and other such garbage. I doubt that anyone in the town, even if they practice TM, would miss that sort of intrusive control-freak behavior if it went away. I'm sure there would be an impact. TMers there would have to learn to live like Just Plain Folks instead of Ru's. On the other hand, they would *get* to learn to live like Just Plain Folks instead of Ru's, and I think that in the long run that would be a good thing. But as someone pointed out, the insurance company will probably take the hit on this one, and the university will stick around, at least until Maharishi gets a whim up his butt and decides it shouldn't. ------------------------ Yahoo!
