I remember Tom, when I was at MIU in the late '70's, early 80's... He always seemed to be an honest intense, 'in your face' kind of guy... I think sometimes people who have intense personalities or who exclaim passionate rhetoric, can often be viewed as cultish... Why people have this reaction, I don't know. I heard a lady on C-Span this morning, from Kentucky, who was saying something about Barack Obama scares her, and reminds her of someone like the cult-leader Jim Jones, who had is followers commit mass suicide back in some past bad dream... This is the mentality of some people, which I find strange, to say the least..
