That would be a very interesting case and not an isolated one. How can someone be pushed to the edge and "snap"? Just f

A word about the Landmark/EST angle of the murder story. The Reno police are looking for any pieces of information that could lead to Darren Mack's arrest. Since Landmark Education was a "big part of their lives", I would suggest contacting Landmark's offices all across the country to see who is "coaching" him! I doubt he will isolate himself from the group&

I wonder why the health authorities stay mute on this. Above all, how can parents do this to their own children. Remember these are kids between the age of 8 and 12!

The recent article in the Sunday Times in Australia about the Landmark assault on kids is quite alarming. Health professionals find the program dubious or even dangerous for kids. The same program is being offered all over the US and Canada. What can we do to protect the children against these assaults? Why is this being tolerated in our society?

Acting (deciding or choosing) out of fear is not necessarily a bad thing, contratry to New Agers claims. In a Predator-Prey (win-loose) situation, acting out of fear (running away) is the right thing to do! Win-loose situations abound in life. This is why nature has evolved so as to provided each of us with a complex mind where feelings, reason and "instinct" must work together for s

QuotelightwolfI ran across this article on the "distinction" of choice v. decision. The language smacks of LGAT speak. The New Consciousness seems to involve the dumbing-down of ideas, inventing distinctions to serve its purposes. I think the bottom line is this: a good decision is a good choice, a bad decision is a bad choice. In the same vein, a good choice is a good decision, a
