Vaj....you have hurt my faith in humankind's intellegent potential....since I fully intend to gather all research -- for, or against TM -- that is published in peer-reviewed respected scientific journals, since I AM THE ONLY RATIONALIST on FFL...
...the rest of you are Bush/Rove/Cheney lookalikes, that are like flacid-cock-licking_turdmen, wether you are for TM or against it....If you support it, or agianst, without validation in peer- reviewed respected scientific journals...more than 5 verified related studies published. YOU ALL are reptiles and worms who do not stand with me on this....and you anti-science freaks will fall... and we shall rise. Only research published in peer-reviewed respected scientific journals will be considered valid in the 20th century. The rest belong in the dustbin of history.....unless of course you want to take us back to the dark ages, like GW Bush and Osama Bin Laden do. Sorry Vaj...let me know when you have research published in peer- reviewed respected scientific journals. Maharish has hundreds of them. Get a life boy.
