Maybe Ravi is right and I am retarded - that would explain why I have no idea how to respond to what seems pretty obvious to me - just because Oz has dough and climbed the fame ladder on Oprah's back does not make him an authority on all things in the Universe and when his pronouncements are at odds with what I have experienced with TM and its organization, I would be truly an idiot to just throw up my hands and say "Oh Lawdy! Dr. Oz says its good so all my experiences must be wrong! Lemme run go git checked right quick and beg Bevan for forgiveness!"
Oz is an entertainer more than anything else and if you think he will go up against Oprah, the person who put him on the map then maybe you need lessons in critical thinking. ________________________________ From: authfriend <authfri...@yahoo.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Monday, February 25, 2013 1:33 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: David Lynch Is Back to Michael --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Ravi Chivukula wrote: > > No dear MJ it doesn't - makes you look more retarded as > each day passes.
