And aren't they both pretty much the same? I think so. Jim, the trademark of a True Believer is, according to Eric Hoffer,his ability to switch sides. Fanatical Nazis could just as easily become fanatical communists. It's only logical that fanatical TMers can just as easily become fanatical Anti-TMers, who are virtually obsessed with other persons lives and believes, as it gives meaning to their otherwise meaningless lives. Think of a person who has spent the last two decades virtually every day for several hours at various internet forums, castigating what he views as cult mentality - in fact trying to prove cult mentality to people who really don't show any sign of it at all. Like to Bob, who has a movement critical webside. Or chasing the daily schedule of Judy Stein. Why would anybody do this? See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Hoffer#On_the_Nature_and_Origins_of_Mass_Movements "A man is likely to mind his own business when it is worth minding. When it is not, he takes his mind off his own meaningless affairs by minding other people's business." --The True Believer.
