Curtis, How can we judge something without understanding the time, place,
context and the people that were being addressed to? May be crocodile semen was
a metaphor, a joke perhaps that you were out of your fucking mind that there
could be a medicine for that ailment and others around had a big belly laugh.
Your distrust of anything and everything Eastern borders on paranoia sometimes,
may be a lot happened during your time in the TM cult that perhaps explains it
but it is one of the things that bothers me personally, coming as it from a
person who otherwise comes across as being very open-minded and intelligent.
