Ok. I agree and disagree on various stuff here. From what I've read about Robert in his postings, this is my conclusions (and if some or many points are wrong, please feel free to correct me).
1. Everybody needs money. To say money is not important is a lie. However, to say that money in itself is a goal that is useless to strive for, is IMO more accurate. As I have understood it, Robert needs money to build better facilities and to build his reserach center, and I think 1M dollars would make those plans much easier.
Therefore - the argument that money is not important is not a valid argument as to why one should not accept the challange
2. If I remember correctly, Robert also said that he is planning on prooving the OBE phenomenon when he starts his research center.
Therefore - the argument that spiritual people doesn't want to prove psychic phenomenon is not a valid argument as to why one should not accept the challenge
Now, the better arguments IMO are:
3. One doesn't want to give up ones private life and live in the focus of the media.
4. Randis way of prooving psychic phenomenon can be questioined hard, and he might discredit the person or arrange so the experiments fail.
In closing: I would love to see RB or anyone else prove OBE. But since RB says that he will start a research center in the future, I guess we just have to wait. And that seems to me be a much better way than going to America and the amazing Randi.

Daniel
