[Mr. Jeeves]

Deepak is a guy who gets it personally, but fails to understand that the world's sociopaths will never get it as a result of our being meek in the face of aggression and set a humble example for them. While it is true that "what you resist, persists" and military opposition can often strengthen and embolden an aggressor, Islam doesn't really work that way. Standing up to Muslim aggression knocks them back into quiescence - but might not work as well with the Russians or Chinese.

Deepak's teachings aren't much different from what Jesus said about turning the other cheek - but if you want to actually live on the Earth among amoral, sociopathic religious fanatics, they don't work very well. On the other hand, if one is in a hurry to die and rejoin the other side, the Muslims will be happy to accommodate you.

PBS has a lot of pretty good stuff, but the bunch of phony gurus it promotes is enough to put me off from contributing any of our hard earned money on their programs. Deepak Chopra says a lot without saying anything, as does Wayne Dyer (of the ever-circling hands club). I hate it when I feel like somebody is trying to use some transparent psychological technique on me. There are a few more phonies making big bucks with hogwash books and tapes.
