     A decade or so ago, I met some devotees of Sai Baba living in Houston
Texas.  The first major elections were a scandal - seems the rich and
powerful were caught cheating their way into office.  The cheaters had to
step down but the group was never the same, immediately following, and I
never much bothered with devotees of Sai Baba, or the politics of
organizations, since. It is apparent that many have less than altruistic
ideals.  This world is a battleground !
