[FairfieldLife] Well, well, well.
At least they are addressing the issue. This is straight off the MUM web page for faculty. What does it mean when someone practicing the TM technique develops a mental illness or commits suicide? It does not mean the technique does not work. The TM program is neither an instant nor a stand-alone cure for all the illnesses people may suffer, nor is it represented as such. People may be born with certain conditions, stresses, and susceptibilities that emerge at various stages in their lives. As published research has indicated, the TM technique triggers a global repair mechanism in the physiology and psychology of everyone — but it cannot be predicted how, when, or to what degree the benefits of the TM program will unfold for a particular individual.

When asked if they would be upset by a family member marrying someone of a different race, 11% said they would object. When asked the same question about a relative marrying someone of a different political party, 15% of Democrats and 17% of Republicans said they would be unhappy with the prospect.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Carl Sagan's Son on 9/11
According to some FFL conspiracy theorists, there were no Jews inside the World Trade Center on 9/11 so ergo, the WTC attack was an inside job by an Israeli cabal inside the U.S. Government that controls the world economy and wants to implement a New World Order. According to two FFL informants, there must have been planning by someone other than al Qaeda, before the attack and there must have been advance knowledge by some high-level government officials. Yeah, that sounds convincing. Go figure. Government investigations and independent reviews have found no evidence for the theories. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=9/11_conspiracy_theories http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=9/11_conspiracy_theories http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a49/1227842/ http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/a49/1227842/ ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, noozguru@... wrote : The son of the late Carl Sagan claimed that there is a massive conspiracy to “cover up” evidence that the collapse of the World Trade Center tower in 2001 was an inside a job. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/son-of-carl-sagan-is-a-911-truther-its-a-cover-up-basically/ http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/son-of-carl-sagan-is-a-911-truther-its-a-cover-up-basically/
