Your syntax is a bit garbled here, but I think I know what you're trying to say. I'll just point out the obvious, that spending all his time as a workaholic CEO type is what has made possible teaching TM around the world to millions (not just thousands) of people. > I wonder how much was given to the Tsunami victims or the victims of > 9/11 by him? No, you don't wonder at all. There are many charitable organizations and individuals that have given money to victims of the tsunami and 9/11 (and Katrina, and many other worthy causes). The TMO, however, is not a charitable organization, it's an educational organization that exists to teach people TM, in the belief that if enough people are practicing it, there will be fewer disastrous tsunamis and less terrorism overall. So it doesn't make sense to expend resources trying to deal with the problem on the level of the problem instead of dealing with the root cause, especially when so much charity is flowing from organizations and individuals whose purpose it is to help the victims directly. It's perfectly reasonable to think this is an absurd belief, or even to criticize MMY for holding it, but it's kinda silly to attack him for being stingy when it *is* what he believes, and what he's devoted his life to attempting to accomplish. ------------------------ Yahoo!
