****** Let's see, marketing TM for atrisk kids in the poorest neighborhoods makes it "elitist," describing TM (accurately) as a "mechanical" technique for expanding awareness makes it "sentimental," having a smoking, multiwived (serially) sometimes quasisoftcore-porn artist like David Lynch as your most prominent public spokesman today makes it "puritanical."
