I was referring mostly to the effects of TM on the president and the people who were meditating and how their meditation rpactice appeared to affect their behavior, not the Maharishi Effect.
And in fact, TM IS supposed to improve moral behavior in an absolutist sense of making one's behavior more "in-tune with the laws of nature." That isn't a well-defined phrase, but "greater common good" might be a good first-order approximation.

And TM is? I always contrast such things with: You're drawing targets round arrows Lawson. The wonder of being able to affect the unified field is supposed to improve all aspects of life: "The economy suffered serious setbacks when in 2000 and 2001 Mozambique was hit by floods which affected about a quarter of the population and destroyed much of its infrastructure. Furthermore, in 2002 a severe drought hit many central and southern parts of the country, including previously flood-stricken areas. Poverty remains widespread, with more than 50% of Mozambicans living on less than $1 a day." So, did he get his wish? Doesn't sound very good, but it's better than civil war but when do they ever last forever?
