****************** 1. The gods rely on humans for Soma, since the gods, not being enlightened, cannot produce Soma (they also had to drink the nectar of immortality, Amrita, since they cannot produce that substance either). It's a free country, until the Natural Law Party takes over, anyway, so you can regard this as vampirism, but it's just the way the universe works. 2. In the U.S. there is a constitutional prohibition against the government establishing religion: http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data/constitution/amendment01/02.html The Court found in Malnak v. Yogi that (although TM practice was not religious in itself) the SCI course did amount to establishment of religion since it deals with issues normally assigned to religion: http://www.waldorfcritics.org/active/articles/Gen_Couns_to_SD.html To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
