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.

You are special, Palin is dumb? You and your version of history are valid, you have the one and only true version of history while Palin is laughable? Small wonder Barry and Vaj linger here.

That doesn't make me special, or her dumb. It's all relative. I do believe I'm less delusional though. I wouldn't take the Presidency if it were handed to me, because I know I am vastly unqualified. The fact that she thinks she might be qualified means to me that she's got some serious screws loose. History is history. It may be interpreted differently, and some things may be recorded inaccurately, but the account of Paul Revere's ride is hasn't been disputed since it happened. Palin's account of it was clearly erroneous, and her attempts to justify her account, pathetic. You're not one of those people trying to edit the Paul Revere Wikipedia page are you? I got 30 out of 33. Incorrect Answers: Question: Free markets typically secure more economic prosperity than government's centralized planning because: Your Answer: more tax revenue can be generated from free enterprise Correct Answer: the price system utilizes more local knowledge of means and ends Question: Which of the following fiscal policy combinations has the federal government most often followed to stimulate economic activity when the economy is in a severe recession? Your Answer: increasing both taxes and spending Correct Answer: decreasing taxes and increasing spending Question: If taxes equal government spending, then: Your Answer: government debt is zero Correct Answer: tax per person equals government spending per person on average

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.

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. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin_D._Roosevelt

[FairfieldLife] Re: Sarah Palin and Paul Revere
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. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer rick@... wrote: Yes sir just when you thought she couldn't get any dumber: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpHfY1Hor9g And then Stephen Colbert does a send up - beautiful (from Daily Kos): howl-arious http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/06/07/982824/-Sarah-Palin-Vindicated:\ Colb ert-Re-enactment-Proves-It!?via=siderec http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/06/07/982824/-Sarah-Palin-Vindicated\ :Col bert-Re-enactment-Proves-It%21?via=siderec
