************** It is because I am not a TM-hater that I object to the pointless rewriting of an article in order to give TMers a distorted view of what is going on in the press. This sort of suppression of actual facts is typical of weak regimes, like North Korea and other Communist or 3rd world dictatorships. The WP article was read by lots of people (their print Sunday edition goes to one million, plus however many read their free web edition). The invincibleamerica.org site is read by a handful of TMers. So editing out material that the TM PR guys found objectionable has no effect on the public, but is intended merely to make TMers feel good about what a great job they are doing spreading good news about TM. This false and self-congratulatory attitude does the TMO no good, and sooner or later, when these Scientology-like gimmicks become well-known in the media world, TM PR efforts will be derided, just as Stalin's airbrushing of photos to eliminate enemies. Logical and adult people would have written a letter to the editor of the WP explaining what TM is (certainly not a breath-control technique as described in the article) and ignored mentions of homeopathic remedies,etc. What the TMO gets instead of logical and adult is Bob Roth's pathetic lying...
