The article was interesting. I'll have to hunt the study up and read
it before I make up my mind about it. The rest is all anecdote --
which is not to say that sometimes there is truth in anecdote -- and
Deepak Chopra has used his stories to sell books and make a tidy
living for himself. Obviously, when you (that would be the generic
'you', not just James) want to believe something, you'll fit your
experience to support it.

the crows -- you seem to have run it many times over the years and
gotten the same results.
