Well, it certainly is a form of argument Curtis would *never* use. <horselaugh> in any case, I did a google search on your name and found > out you've been slandering the movement for about ten years now. Seventeen years, actually, minimum, since at least 1990. Curtis helped Andrew Skolnick out with his disgraceful 1991 JAMA article on TM and Maharishi Ayur-Veda. And the previous year he provided this quote to the DC City Paper: "At my prime of absurdity, I was sitting in full lotus [position] for two hours on a black deerskin -- not a brown deerskin -- just like Maharishi, with rush grass underneath, beads to protect me from evil influences, coral to develop my intellect . . . everything had to be perfect for me to get my deep buzz," he said. "The techniques are powerful enough so you do get a buzz. I was being the goodest boy, I wanted to be in an unreproachable state. I was a little Maharishi." How could you *possibly* suggest Curtis has a troubled past, Jim? For a while, Curtis was on TM-Ex's list of anti- TMers to whom to refer media people who were doing stories on TM, for "balance."
