I think I've been around for only maybe half of them. But I am still taken aback by the amount of bad will some people on this list nurture against TM and its founder. Entertaining feeling like that (unfounded or otherwise) is not good for your health. Isn't their anything that can be done to make them let go and start having a life..? > World Peace could have been achieved 3 years ago with all the energy > that we all waste gossiping on this forum every day... I once heard this theory that one way MMY ensures world peace is by attract some of the most stressed people on the planet and have them do silly things in the TMO instead of letting them create havoc outside the TMO sandbox. ------------------------ Yahoo!
