No, I don't agree. The ME is just another part of the three card monte
that is TM. Far better that people meditate (any form will do) and
become involved in policy making. Do you think that the idiots in DC
would be selling a war if they were practicing meditation?

noozguru, I don't think we agree about this, but I do believe the best
thing I can do to influence policy is to do TMSP in a group. So that's
what I do. And now thanks to FFL, I also have more intelligent input
on both sides of any issue. Seems like a really good combo.

I think the bridge is still only $3 when it is not rush hour. I don't
know if they've done away with all the tool booths as they want people
to use FastTrack which is a little thing you put on your windshield.
I don't use bridges enough to have it so for people like me they take
a picture of your license plate and send a bill. As Doc and I have
mentioned the SF Bay Area has piss poor mass transit so a lot of
people drive to work.
As for politics my purpose on bringing these issues up is not to scare
people (meditators aren't supposed to scare easily anyway) but inform
and see if folks want to discuss the issues. We're all adults and
supposed to have some influence on policy.

noozguru, $6 toll bridge! The Chesapeake Bay Bridge is the only toll
bridge I've experienced and at that time was like $2.50. Anyway,
thanks for all the interesting and useful ideas you post here. I
think you're one of the people who helps me have an intelligent take
on politics and current events and what to get prepared for. I must
say though, I do love a beautifully constructed bridge.

So the construction must be the pregnancy and the opening the birth?
I generally avoid going into San Francisco which I call "no parking"
though did drive over there March last year.
The state's transportation head blasted the Bay Area politicians for
delaying the project. San Francisco can be a very Willy Nilly place
literally as Willy Brown aided in the delay (and they want to name
the bridge after him!) People wanted the bridge fixed and didn't
care so much about the design but the politician cluster fuck argued
for a landmark which caused it to be the most expensive bridge in the
world. If California goes bankrupt (which it nearly is) the Chinese
will probably buy the new bridge and charge a $25 toll (it's $6 rush
hour now).

ah ha! noozguru, I wonder what that earlier opening did to the
bridge's jyotish chart!

No not the TV show though I was watching my recording last night of
"The
Dome" on my DVR when after one set of commercials instead of returning
to the series full screen if moved to the upper right corner and as the
local CBS station put up a "Breaking News" alert showing cars crossing
the new span of the Bay Bridge.
The bridge was scheduled to reopen at 5 AM this morning but they
actually were able to get it ready in time to open it last night. Note
this is the most expensive bridge ever built and about 10 years late
mainly due to local narcissistic politicians squabbling over what it
should be.
