President Clinton commends David Lynch Foundation Conference

http://www.davidlynchfoundation.org/
Bill Clinton: Thank you for giving me the opportunity to address the Ho-Chunk Elders International Conference on building healthy, sustainable American Indian communities. When I left the White House I started the Clinton Foundation to address the global issues I cared most about, in areas where I knew I could still make an impact. We are now working in 40 countries to end the HIV/AIDS epidemic, to stop global climate change, to promote economic development and opportunity worldwide, and to halt the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States. Your program initiatives for health education, renewable energy and sustainable communities resonate with our mission. American Indians are the true custodians of our land. You've assembled a panel of prominent experts to examine and share your innovative and highly effective approaches. Approaches which are in harmony with nature's laws, and with Native American cultural practices. Your programs and methodology have significant impact for dramatically improving academic performance and reducing the stress and violence that permeate impoverished Indian and non-Indian communities. Your work has prevented and actually reversed the onslaught of diabetes which strikes up to 80% of Native peoples. You've generated clean energy and self-sufficiency for American Indians by harnessing nature's wind and solar resources. You've provided healthy, nutritious food and economic self-sufficiency for American Indians through the establishment of organic agricultural green houses. And finally, you've safe-guarded the precious land, language, and culture of American tribal communities, for they are truly the foundation for systemic change. I congratulate the Ho-Chunk Elders Council Link of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska for developing and bringing forth a comprehensive and timely plan.

The great contradiction of TM - the constant proclamation that it is "simple and effortless" but costs more than a thousand dollars to learn. This is where anyone with common sense screams, "Bullshit! Total. . . fucking. . . bullshit," to quote David Lynch (who was not speaking of TM at the time, but of product placement, just to clarify).

@neukolnxyz There is always a way to get financial help to learn Transcendental Meditation if you really want to learn. Please visit tm.org for information on how to get a scholarship or message us privately.
