So you were in Boppard in 1982 ? How strange I can't remember your face.
Can't rememember any americans there either. In fact, there were no
americans there. :-)

 

I was in Detroit from 1982-1984 with Bobby Roth and two other Purusha guys.
That was after Purusha started at MUM. MMY sent us there. After that, we
went to the Philippines.

And doing the Purusha thing
> since about 1972 on my own, 

yeah, right, doing the Purusha "thing" before the Sidhis were ever given.
And I thought The Turqo was the biggest lier on this forum :-)

 

By "Purusha thing" I meant living a celibate lifestyle, as Maharishi had
recommended, while working full time for the movement.

Aha, thank you! I thought it was the wrong answer because
I had it in my mind that he *had* packed the court instead
of merely threatening to do so. I guess I was remembering
that he did end up appointing lots of justices because he
was in office for so long, and I got that mixed up with
the court-packing threat.

Even with the help of multiple choice, this was not an easy test for the 
average bear.  It helps if you are a good guesser, but you have to know 
something about American history as well. I nearly missed the one on the 
Lincoln/Douglas debates, but guessed correctly. I got the Roosevelt/SCOTUS 
question right because I recently read about it on Wikipedia while researching 
political trivia questions for a fundraiser that I'm organizing for the 
Democrats.

"The Supreme Court became Roosevelt's primary focus during his second term, 
after the court overturned many of his programs. In particular in 1935 the 
Court unanimously ruled that the National Recovery Act (NRA) was an 
unconstitutional delegation of legislative power to the president. Roosevelt 
stunned Congress in early 1937 by proposing a law allowing him to appoint up to 
six new justices, what he referred to as a "persistent infusion of new 
blood."[104] This "court packing" plan ran into intense political opposition 
from his own party, led by Vice President Garner, since it upset the separation 
of powers and gave the President control over the Court. Roosevelt's proposals 
for the court failed; shortly thereafter the president took another political 
fall with the nomination of Hugo Black to the court. After Black was confirmed, 
Black and Roosevelt were widely attacked in the press when it was revealed that 
Black had been a member of the Ku Klux Klan.[105] Nevertheless, by 1941 
Roosevelt had appointed eight justices to the court."

As I was posting my previous response, I was thinking *exactly* the same thing. 
With multiple choice, I'm able to intellectually process the given choices. I 
sucked at US history, and I'd have failed miserably if I had to supply my own 
answers.

Those were two of the four I got wrong, and I picked the
same answers you did.

You and I bombed on the first one above because we've been
reading about how the *current* recession needs both tax
increases and increased spending--but that wasn't the
question. It was what has the government *most often* done.

Both of us should have known better than to pick "Government
debt is zero" for the second one! Government debt is *never*
zero. Also, the very specific way the right answer is worded
should have clued us in that it was the correct one. More
often than not, I think, in multiple-choice tests like this
one, longer, more complex answers are more likely to be
correct than shorter, simple answers.

I have to admit that if I had to come up with the answers
to the questions on my own, rather than picking from
multiple possible answers, I would probably have done
quite poorly. And I do better than I should on multiple-
guess, I think, because as an editor, I find many of the
wrong answers just *sound* wrong, vaguely worded and/or
too simplistic or otherwise fishy. I'm more likely to get
an answer right because I've been able to rule out the
wrong ones than because I actually knew what the answer
was.

I spent some time on the Roosevelt/SCOTUS question
because I thought what turned out to be the right answer
was wrong, but trickily so. I finally went with it only
after figuring none of the others could possibly be
right.

It would be interesting to see what questions folks who

Excellent. I got four wrong, 29 out of 33. Got three about
financial stuff and the one about the anti-Federalists wrong.

They say, "The average score for all 2,508 Americans taking
the following test was 49%; college educators scored 55%."

Do they really mean college *educators*, i.e., professors?
Or is that a typo for college *educated*? If the former,
that's really scary.

 

I blew the one on the Gettysburg Address. I figured Lincoln was quoting the
Declaration of Independence, but he coined the phrase. The other one I got
wrong was Roosevelt appointing additional members to the Supreme Court.
Hadn't known that.

The fellow made it to TTC in a time of history that was desperate for change. 
Alice Bailey and others had claimed the Christ to be incarnated "late this 
century", in fact the dates had been changed due to the success of WWII and 
placed much before the year 2000. And Maharishi had declared "The Dawn of the 
Age of Enlightenment".

Being the one who had taken upon himself to usher in the New Age what could he 
do ? He had to let anyone aboard. And he did. He even said that he was 
critisized in India for not testing his students before letting them in; with a 
smile he said "I will test them later". 
The Maharishi-denoucers on this forum failed that test.

And being on Purusha, I'm not so sure about that. He was in the Philippines, 
but I doubt he went to India after that, nor was in that group of americans who 
came to Boppard and later received the Purusha Programme in Washington 1982.

[seventhray1]

I saw this clip (of her) a couple days ago.  But I have to say, ( and
watching very little TV, and no political TV) that this piece with Bill
Maher struck me as somewhat eliticist and condescending.  I am no fan of
Sarah Palin, but it seemed  (from this tiny little segment) that Bill is
there with his minions who take anything he says as just the height of
cleverness and funniness, and then they proceed to lampoon whoever they
view as their adversary.

By coincidence earlier today I tuned into Rush Limbaugh, (not finding
anything else of interest), and  he was saying that the main strength of
Sarah Palin is that "we know she is a conservative".  He said nothing
else matters.  He said specifically it doesn't matter if she makes dumb
comments (or at least portrayed as dumb by the media, as he put it),
that fact is that we know she will promote so called conservative
values-period.  To me that attitude is more eye opening.

So, Weiner's 'wiener' is a distraction from Sarah 
Palin? How are you Dems going to win an election
running on that platform, when Palin isn't even 
in office?

So, you're thinking that Sarah Palin is the
most important issue in the next election?

Go figure.

But, if I were you and I was worried about 
the next election, I'd be worried as hell 
that Rick Perry might run for the top office!

You guys gotta keep up.  That was last weekends news.   Weiner's wiener 
is the big distraction now. :-D

Even better, Sarah Palin's fans have gotten caught trying
to edit the Wikipedia page on Paul Revere to make it agree
with her twisted view of history.
