Maybe the TMO talked about electric vehicles at some pt - they've talked about most everything - but the above list of activities is not particularly representative of what the tmo has actually done. There is a small organic greenhouse operation here in ffld. Maybe talk about bigger operations will come through but so far that's just talk. There's also projects cutting down the rainforest in brazil and other forests elsewhere in the world. In the past MMY has drilled for oil in texas, marketing high-end silk dresses, and now used cars in india as well (at least one nephew is). Remember last year's big plans - enlightenment centers in malls. Real estate remains the main business of the tmo, but most everything has been tried, and being a green eco-friendly business has never been a prerequisite. Promoting his brand of spirituality has been MMY's most tireless and unending motivation which is impressive in its energy and committment. Lots of religious people today and throughout history have shown that kind of motivation though - and full time religious people conducting global businesses on the side while also getting involved in politics is nothing new - research pat robertson and rev. moon's operations which are much larger than MMY's. ------------------------ Yahoo!
