[FairfieldLife] Re: Hey Rick, Thanks for All the Good Times
Rick, thanks for the forum. It is one of the gifts of the internet that made the internet personally useful in ways I never imagined possible. It's nice to connect with folks about TM and a million other subjects without having to necessarily be politically correct at local center. We have been able to express our concerns without that passive agressive behavior so many governors and teachers engage in. I firmly believe that being critical in a constructive manner is "not going negative". All the best.

And then there is TAILS which is a TOR based Linux. Put it on a USB stick and boot up or even run it off a DVD. Fun stuff.

Curtis, That's well said. But all things must change. This forum has its own karma, and I'm willing to be a witness as to how this forum will evolve in the near future.
