That's VERY positive! 65% are predisposed to TM DESPITE the negativity of the school program episode. It just shows that people ARE seekers...they are, indeed, desparate for something like TM. Why the f**k do we have to charge $2,500 for it? Charge $75 and people will flock to us...AND they'll be so blown away that the money that they would donate as a result (all we'd have to do is ask) would probably end up being many times MORE than the $2,500 that each would pay... > Maybe, I'd want to know more about it. 25 14% > No, it's too wacky. 13 7% > No, it's a waste of money and time. 28 15% > To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
