It would appear a dark, medieval consciousness is beginning to take over Fairfield Life, in the likeness of the Transcendental Meditation Organisation's tyrannical manner. Medieval 1. of or relating to the Middle Ages. 2. Informal, very old-fashioned or primitive. Synonyms:  antique  archaic

I found FFL looking for an e-mail address for L.B. Shriver, this was in the early part of the 2000s. I did not join then as I had other things to do. After a half decade or so, I seem to recall looking for his address again, but he was in China, but I started to look at the site. I had some
