Since you seem to be comfortable with a broader sense of "truth in advertising" than some, you might like this Coke commercial, showing scientifically what "really" happens inside that Coke machine when you plunk your money in. :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbOLjfKqE5s My premise in all of this is that these charts and all of this science is *NOT* advertising. It's not designed to appeal to people who don't already practice TM. It's designed to provide mind candy for those who already do, and keep them "in the fold" and ready to shell out more money the next time The Next Big Thing is announced. In other words, these studies are not an attempt to sell Kool-Aid to the masses. They are an attempt to keep the people who have already drunk the Kool- Aid drinking it in the future. ------------------------ Yahoo!
