What turq and MJ don't realize, simply because they've had no direct contact with FF and TMO in decades, is that most long term TMers have moved far away from any idea of stifling perfectionism. Many of the TMers I know embrace life's inherent richness and see the beauty in all of the world's wa

Ann, the problem with belittling people is that then their ideas get belittled too, ideas which might be useful to others. Like how MJ ridicules TM, showing no concern for people who might be helped by it. Like the way you belittled my comment about colloidal silver and ebola when doctors have a
