I don't have a point and what in the world is wrong with you? I am not blaming anyone - you have a burr under your saddle for no reason. I was merely relating experiences. Now that is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time - I have the burr under my saddle. And excuse me, but I thought maybe you had a reason for "relating experiences" other than to simply relate experiences. Usually it points to some negative aspect of the TM Movement, sorry if I was wrong. From: "awoelflebater@...

He talked like it was an ashram that was also a modern university, spoke glowingly of the forest academies and led me to believe that everyone was on the program, no drugs, no fooling around, everyone was wholeheartedly a TM'er. What I saw and experienced was very different. People were running around jumping into bed with each other at the drop of a hat. MSAE students were smoking pot as were some of the MIU staff and students. The Palestinian kids whose wealthy fathers had sent them to MIU from Sweden or Switzerland were out of control partying and chasing women - some of them had off campus apartments (which was against the rules for undergrads). I had a mighty education on the real MIU mighty quick. So, who and what are you blaming here? You're damned if your a TB and a bliss ninny believing all that MMY has told you and in addition you're a cultist and, apparently, brainwashed if you tow the line and act like a good TM'er studying and meditating. But you're also damned if you jump into bed with members of the opposite sex, smoke dope and generally act like a regular college student. Either way, how is MIU to blame for how people act when they're free agents and attending the school? What exactly is your point MJ? When George brought his wife to MIU for a Christmas time residence course and WPA I asked him why he had told me the place was a meditators nirvana where everyone pulled together for whatever Marshy told us was the greater good. He said "Well if you focus on those things, yeah. I was telling you how I approached MIU when I was here. I was here to get a degree and to round."
