It's a PC thang..."politically correct," that is. Have you ever been to Colorado? They're PC crazy there. The mindset is, "We've been told that X is unhealthy for us. Therefore we don't do X and we're going to do our best to keep you from doing X, too. The more you try to do X, the more we'll try to stop you, because we know how to live better than you do." :-) Just kidding, but not really. What Lawson is describing here is nothing more than WHAT HE WAS TOLD by TM teachers who were only repeating WHAT THEY WERE TOLD. Lawson bought into it, and now feels that there is actually something *wrong* with discussing one's experiences. He's trying to get others to buy into that mindset, so that it doesn't look so weird on him. :-) ------------------------ Yahoo!
