The driving mission of MUM is get everyone else in the world to do the tm program and no other meditation or guru related activities, tear down their house and build only according to S-ved, go only to Maharishi approved doctors, and generally liberate them from their unenlightened existence. I was accosted several times in town after I stopped going to the dome by TBs. People like Rick and I don't accost anyone on campus about their lifestyles, and now we can't even express an opinion about a few people. You think you know what's best for everyone in the world. > And the news for those who would go into an orgy of delight if MUM folded is . > . . it ain't gonna happen.

Even someone's personal opinion that some people on campus might benefit from a change of pace, without any expressed desired to make it so, drives TBs nuts. > --- In [email protected], "markmeredith2002" < > markmeredith@> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], "feste37" <feste37@> wrote: > > > > > > Rick sounds like the Bush Administration, wanting to "liberate" subject > > > peoples.
