not to mention uneducated, remark you just made. MJ is far from
uneducated or, at least, a long way from dumb. I have seen the man write
with skill and an obvious exposure to lots of "education". Just because
he happened to have worked his ass off in the hot kitchens of MIU simply
means he worked his ass off and was dedicated to a life characterized by
TM and hard work. He also took a fair bit of abuse at the hands of the
stuffed shirts who ran the place. I was a student shortly before MJ
arrived so I remember those days well and had very close friends on
staff. I know how it rolled.

vaccinations in general to be harmful or useless but because at this age
I have had all the appropriate vaccinations for my age and exposure to
the world of germs. I don't vaccinate for Swine flu or flu in general
and polio and small pox were done decades ago when I was a child. If
they could vaccinate against ignorance, fear and small mindedness I
would be first in line though.

I only objected, reluctantly, to what I felt was a blanket indictment of
vaccinations.  However, even if I disagree with many of his opinions, I
do enjoy his writing style,  especially when he relates his personal
experiences.

But it seems to me he has some (quite a few) blind spots when it comes
to the whole TMO experience, and I voice those objections, when I think
he is particularly off the rails.
