I had this problem years ago when I did video work for the some TMO productions in Fairfield. We were shooting interviews with MIU scientists regarding the 1% effect. After they would give their dogmatic spiel, I'd try to get them to talk about their personal reaction to this because it makes much better footage. Several of them literally could not do it and could not comprehend what I meant by a personal reaction. It was the strangest thing. It was not that they were being videotaped, they just didn't understand what I meant by a personal reaction! They could only express their "feelings" in TMO dogma. > > > > > > > To subscribe, send a message to: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Or go to: > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ > and click 'Join This Group!' > Yahoo!
