This is a rare area of agreement between Mike and me. There's no reason a presidential candidate should have a policy on meditation.

Commuting to work, whether driving, taking a bus, biking, walking or taking a train is activity used to stabilize pure awareness . The established routine was wake up, tend to bathroom needs, meditate, get dressed, have breakfast, go to work. Evening, go home, have a cocktail, then meditate and then dinner, (just threw the cocktail in for fun) chill the evening. No one has a *right* to be paid to meditate on company time and companies don't have an obligation to provide the time or space to tend to you personal spiritual growth, even if they may benefit from it. If a company offers these things as a perk, kudos to them. When companies start getting involved with these personal matters then the next thing you know, they'll be telling you which *denomination* of meditation you must practice, TM, Mindfulness, Kriya etc etc. Next thing you know every work place becomes a dome complete with badges to be handed out and taken away and we don't need no stinkin' badges!

This be Constitutional Bill of Rights and inalienable right endowed by God the Unified Field Declaration of Independence material. Where be Spare-egg when we need help elucidating the science on this? You are a meditator, and have seen or kept up on the modern science around meditation?

Are either of them meditators? Would either of them support public school silence-based meditating/ quiet time? Not prayer, but quiet time for meditating? National education policy. Along with their answering directly some science policy questions otherwise, the science would seem to indicate a great public health benefit to children learning to meditate and meditating regularly as part of the school day. Meditating, as modern public health policy. What is their policy on this pressing issue? Are either of them opposed to meditating? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : Here Are the Questions Scientists Want Our Presidential Candidates to Answer.
