if you think this, then you dont know any mormons. I know more than just a few and thinking that they are becoming a terrorist for aq would be like equating george washington to the next antichrist.

I don't know how anyone from a Western civilization could fall prey to that, but they do. Mormons are people, just like the rest of us, and prey to the same faulty thinking.

There are certain personality types who find comfort in cultish groups. You have them within the Mormons and certainly within Muslims. I don't find this difficult to think about, but I have a distaste for all extremists and zealots, perhaps others here have more tolerance for and experience with them.

Intriging. Well, I guess that everyone who shops at Costco is suspect. No one eats that much food in a week, except the Duggar family.

Upps! I probably have seven days of leftovers in the fridge. The trick is geting to them before they become cryo-bio experiments. Some of the things old food can turn into would get me labeled as a terrorist biochemist.

Somebody please tell me this nonsense has not been made into law.

I guess, then, I am a terrorist (NOT!)
I have a supply of food that will support 4 people for over a year, and it all has a shelf life up to 15 years. A year would give me enough time to set up a few acres of crop production.

Currently, designing a wood-fired steam generation system, to provide electricity (I am on a lot of land with wooded forests). Also PV cells, etc.
