California court rules in favor of LAX regulating Hare Krishna solicitors
Ha! I met one of those Hare Krishna solicitors a few years back. The guy was too sneaky for my taste. He saw my university logo on my shirt, so he struck up a conversation about higher education and philosophy. Then he gave me a Hare Krishna book, just before asking me for “a donation from the heart.” I gave him a donation, but it wasn’t really “from the heart.” He had already foisted his book on me, so I felt obligated to give him something.
I read that stupid book. It told me to set up a little shrine with pictures and worship them in my house. That threw me for a loop, because I never expected anyone to seriously tell me to worship little idols that I make myself.
Editors note: (It’ll be interesting to see what kind of comment-bots this generates…)

Weird, I never would have thought that people would hand money over to a stranger like that.
Oh, I gave him less than the book was worth. He didn’t make money on that deal.
