Well basically, members are people who make no more than 11 $ an hour, and no less than 0 dollars an hour. Disillusioned children with the knowledge that college is the answer for them, and their parents almost always care enough to support them. Like any good herd we gather around the watering hole, and by seniority we drink, with mothers caring for calves. Except, when we go a walking, we can't use credit cards. Smoking is right out, unless you want to. And finally, the only leader is your heart, and common sense, where applicable. The inscrutable exhortations of your soul are encouraged. Be individual. Balance the scales. Have a long term goal that can better humanity. The only time magic is allowed is everyday. You are encouraged to laugh in a good natured, morally supportive way. If you want to be sarcastic, remember the pain you felt many years ago when it bit you. If you feel like that's impossible, go spend 10 months in isolation, then maybe you'll have better luck. Love your family, except if they are so ill indisposed that they are abusive. Then, you can be angry for half your life, then wake up and deal with it. Enlightenment can be achieved at any time, but we must decide to recognize it, and act. The splinter in your mind is just that. And: love is monogamous, intelligent, and with good will and understanding.
