But why aren't they willing? In the UK, MMY's appointees ordered that checking should be charged for. People are not told about gummy times on the road ahead, and, if they buy a toaster that doesn't work as described, they expect an apology and a remedy without cost. In the 70s, they got it. In the 70s, the TMO succeeded. As a colourful London sidha once said: "MMY could not sell ice cream on a hot Sunday afternoon in August". Back in the late '50s, it is reported that he nearly threw in the towel and went back to India because people were enthusing about an article in a West coast paper saying that people were flocking to TM to help with sleep problems. He said that TM is to awaken, not to help with sleep. He misread marketing then and he has ever since. There are those who think he can do anything anywhere. If he were to be strapped into an Indy car, would he win? Uns. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
