I'm a nihilist, an analyst, and a keyboard antagonist. I sure don't want to hurt no one.
@sundogplanets This is just the latest in a long list of cults trying to create a Utopian society in a new frontier. The inevitable ending is not paradise rather starvation and exposure to the cruelty of nature.
