A Force More Powerful

In a piece called "DO-GOODER GAMES", in TIME, I saw this:

A FORCE MORE POWERFUL
Gandi inspired the name of this game, which is backed by the International Center on Nonviolenct Conflict and lets players be the chief strategists of nonviolen movements.  To fund the group's mission' aforcemorepowerful.org charges $19.95 a game.

Dude that's kind of cool. Seems like Black & White, but hopefully not sucky. BTW, does anyone remember that similar game from the early 90s where the scenario was building a cult? I don't remember what it was called though it was 10-15 years ago.

John

If I'd ever join a cult, it would be the "cult" of "Liberty & Justice!"
Maybe I actualy already joined, when they (the public schools) had me keep pleadging (day after day) to  ". . . with Liberty & Justice for all."
That always sounded realy good to me!

John if you are in the FSP or a member of the NHFree forums you are in a cult.

Definition of cult
5 a : great devotion to a person, idea, object, movement, or work (as a film or book); especially : such devotion regarded as a literary or intellectual fad
           b : a usu. small group of people characterized by such devotion

Do you mean to say that I am in TWO "cults"?
BTW, do you think that either/or both the FSP "cult" and/or the NHfree "cult" fit into my wishes to join a LIBERTY & JUSTICE "cult"?
So how many people would it take before I am out of the "cult member" status and part of a "movement" back towards more LIBERTY & JUSTICE?
At the rate we are already moving, I'm thinking that soon everyone will agree with what we were promissed as children - "Liberty & Justice for all".
You see, I'm kind of wierd like that; When I am promissed somthing, I like to get what was promisssed.

John I don't think I am the one to say what the FSP or NHfree forums mean to you. If you believe they are both Liberty and Justice cults then that is the only opinion that matters. The right to believe whatever you want is essential.

I don't know how the FSP can be considered a cult.  Take me for instance.  All I'm doing is leaving my friends and family, quitting my job, moving 1200 miles or so, for the idea of liberty....... oh, I see.

Okay, I'm buying my overalls and straw hat so I have the cult uniform ready when I move.

I didn't get a chance to answer the gang affiliation question in jail.

A cult is, when you don't have enough people to form a minority.
