So far, the various theories I've seen about cahooting
between the government and BP have been based on
misinformation. But I'd be surprised to find there
hadn't been at least some mutual back-scratching going
on.
None of it, though, would be negatively affecting BP's
attempts to stop the leak. BP

It's clearly a case of cognitive dissonance. It
seems like all the anti-TMers can do is post all

That is the funny thing. After the Beatles left India they gave the most
powerful PR broadcast for this message possible. The world of popular culture
hung on their every word as they described how they had discovered that
Maharishi was a fraudulent monk. I was just a kid and I knew about it.
