The academic operations of MUM are probably breakeven but it is still a magnet for donations from around the country, not just FF. Plus it obtains gov't grants as the state politicos still feel FF meditators are a bright economic engine in an economically lackluster state. All the new buildings going up are funded by donations. No one is saying that MUM is just some real estate investment for the TMO. What we're saying is that the day MUM can no longer send money to int'l or grow its real estate assets is the day the tmo will decide to sell off MUM's real estate, transfer the proceeds to int'l and move on to the next project. ------------------------ Yahoo!
