Come to Fairfield AND GO TO JAIL! My advice is to stay as far away from Fairfiled as possible. Its actully the worst case of out of control police and judiciary I have ever seen. Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 12:28:25 3. Holly Moore As a 30+ year resident of Fairfield, Iowa, I find the above comments by Ms. Anderson amusing and untrue. I'm sad that that is all she can comment upon about our wonderful community, but I respect her right to her opinion. I couldn't agree more with the great place designation you have bequethed upon us! Fairfield is a wonderful, wonderful place to live! The town is one of the most creative and economically vibrant communities in the nation and a lesson in excellence in American rural living. I am one of the community members who came for the university, but stay for Fairfield. I cannot imagine living anywhere else, despite having travelled around the country and overseas. For all the reasons you mention, plus many, many others, my husband and I work and volunteer here, are raising our family, and intend to retire in Fairfield. Please come visit us sometime soon, but be sure it's near the begining of the month so you can enjoy our 1st Fridays Art Walk, an amazing fusion of arts and entertainment held in over 25 art galleries and venues on and around our historic town square, the first Friday of all 12 months of the year, rain, snow, or shine. We welcome you! Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 19:34:40 Sounds like the first pesron is trying to convince people not to attend the upcoming course. Wonder why. Wow. That sounded like Lupidus/Nablus, not you, Sparaig. The only thing it sounded like to me was some kid who got busted once for being drunk in public and holds a grudge.

By the way, congrats on this article. I've been to Fairfield only once, years ago, and didn't know all that much about it until I came to FFL. It sounds as if you've managed to create a very nice place there, in the unlikeliest of locations. I wish you who live there well with it in the future, whatever the fortunes of the TMO may turn out to be. Obviously, it is no longer the dominating factor in the town; living well is. Yahoo!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Comments posted about 12 Great Places Article
Exactly, sustainable living is the motivating factor here, both within and without the TMO. Obviously most of us would not have come without it, and there is a real feeling of community as much of the stress due to the TMO/non-TMO stuff fades away. I think you'd notice many positive changes if you were to visit again. Sal On Jul 22, 2006, at 3:50 AM, TurquoiseB wrote: By the way, congrats on this article.

I think you'd notice many positive changes if you were to visit again. I will definitely visit if karma finds me in the general area again, and given the weirdness quotient one tends to find in my karma, it just might. :-) Seriously, I am very grateful to the Fairfield folk on this forum. You have changed many of my feelings about my own TM experience, positively. There is a sense of *balance* here in most of the members of this forum that was IMO missing during my years with the movement. I'm an old Judo guy; it predates my involvement with TM, and was probably my first spiritual path in this lifetime. Judo guys appreciate balance. There are many memories of my time with TM that I cherish and rank among my highest moments -- the tsakli of my life -- and no matter what else I may say and believe about Maharishi, I thank him for providing them. It was a nice ride. I'm happy to see that it still is for many people, and I wish them well on their Way. BTW, if I seem a little out of character today, it's because I'm getting to listen to the first new Bruce Cockburn songs I've heard in over three years. Bruce is kind of a passion for me; in a very real sense (that of the poet whose words never fail to inspire), he has been one of my spiritual teachers almost as long as Maharishi. His cinematic writing style has influenced me greatly. And because his songs and the knowledge of how he lives his life encapsulate compassion so perfectly for me, it's difficult to listen to new ones without some of it rubbing off on me. :-) Here's one of them, called 'Mystery.' I know that song lyrics rarely come across in print without the music behind them, but you might be able to hear between the lines... You can't tell me there is no mystery Mystery Mystery You can't tell me there is no mystery It's everywhere I turn Moon over junk yard where the snow lies bright Snow lies bright Snow lies bright Moon over junk yard where the snow lies bright Can set my heart to burn Stood before the shaman, I saw star-strewn space Star-strewn space Star-strewn space Stood before the shaman, I saw star strewn space Behind the eye holes in his face Infinity always gives me vertigo Vertigo Vertigo Infinity always gives me vertigo And fills me up with grace I was built on a Friday and you can't fix me You can't fix me You can't fix me I was built on a Friday and you can't fix me Even so I've done okay So grab that last bottle full of gasoline Gasoline Gasoline Grab that last bottle full of gasoline Light a toast to yesterday And don't tell me there is no mystery Mystery Mystery And don't tell me there is no mystery It overflows my cup This feast of beauty can intoxicate Intoxicate Intoxicate This feast of beauty can intoxicate Just like the finest wine So all you stumblers who believe love rules Believe love rules Believe love rules Come all you stumblers who believe love rules Stand up and let it shine Stand up and let it shine On Jul 22, 2006, at 3:50 AM, TurquoiseB wrote: By the way, congrats on this article.

The effectiveness of the ploy, however, would depend on how many people who would be considering going to the course in Fairfield read Mother Earth News online, which may not be a whole lot. I think it's probably more likely that there's no connection with the course at all.
