I repeat the challenge you ignored earlier. Please tell us about the last time you visited Houston and spent a lot of time walking around there. When you do, please also throw in a list of all of the other cities in the US you have visited and spent considerable time walking around in in the last five years. If the list is short, wouldn't making pronounce- ments based on what one has read or heard or Googled about a place one has never been, or has never been in recent years, by any less "beyond silly?" Put up or shut up. List the cities *you* personally have walked around in that substantiate your post. If you cannot, I suggest that your opinion is just as valid and valuable as your insights into Maharishi, a man you never met.
