Thank God ;-) for a sane one among you!
When I set out the idea a month or so back I was amazed that no one
disagreed. "Is it this easy to start a cult?!?" I thought. Are people
really so willing to create a consciously elitest orginization? (As long as
they get to be part of the elite, that is.)
At least there is one of you that is willing to think of the aims rather
than the just the means. Thank you Eric. And you are right:

Your wisdom will be noted when we select members for the Inner Counsel.
