That's like saying, "How do you explain that someone like Dr. Francis Collins who is smart, successful, healthy, and a respected scientist that helped discover the human genome practicing prayer and sharing about Christianity and his belief in God?" Point being, there are smart, successful, healthy people all over the planet that practice/believe different things. And now I think of Keith Richards. He sure seems to be keeping keeping on in spite of his practices. I wonder if he does TM? ;) **************** --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Share Long <sharelong60@...> wrote: > > What I notice is how you evade the real point. Which I'll elucidate by > saying that I don't consider The Donald as healthy. So again, if you are > able, how do you explain that someone like Dr. Oz, smart, successful and > healthy, practices and promotes TM? > > I'm also noticing that none of the anti TM people can answer this one. And > so they are evading it. > > > > ________________________________ > From: Michael Jackson <mjackson74@...> > To: "FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com" <FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com> > Sent: Monday, February 25, 2013 11:28 AM > Subject: Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: David Lynch Is Back to Emily and Michael > > >  > I don't take the amount of money or fame someone has as an edict to do what > they recommend.
