Well, now I see how so many of you survived for so long in the insanity that was the Cult Culture!
Y'all were just a bunch of
PIRATES!!! No
wonder so many of you LIKED and ADMIRED Ron so much at one stage or another!
LOL, I kid the group...all of humanity is like this. (Really, we are...it's a survival skill to look out for the main chance, but the better angels of our natures keep us more or less civilized...most of the time. Thank God!)
Bardy, I had friends, relatives and a fiance who were also in that meatgrinder known as the Viet Nam war, and I don't blame you a bit! Really, I'm glad you came out of it okay.
Although I do want to commend Lakey for his native intelligence in thinking it through and realizing that he could get away with his money making game for only so long, and then would be caught, and so decided not to play that easy income game! If you were single and without kids, you may have felt it was worth the risk!
Hard to think what I would have done...I know my own nature and character pretty darn well...I would have been a TIGER, too...I'm sure!
But I would have tried very hard not to hurt anybody,
unless they were actively harming others. That is part of my nature, too!
However, when caught...they would have had to just offload me...I sincerely doubt anyone would have been able to ever RPF me...I would have torn the place apart and decked (in the classic sense of the word) anyone who stood between me and my freedom!
But then, that's why I never got sucked into any Cult in the first place, despite numerous opportunities to "join up" with one.
I thank my ferocious Celtic ancestors!
