That's right. But in North Korea, one accord is more impressive.

In North Korea, they have been building a communist utopia. In the LRC, they have been building WL's utopia. Both are striving for unreachable.

Years ago, back when we were litigating the Mindbenders book, we would explain away some of our extreme behaviors by claiming that "some cults had church-like tendencies."

That could cut both ways.

And maybe we inadvertently were admitting that we were a cult that had just enough "church-like" tendencies to avoid looking as "way out there" as some of the others
