It is incredible to me that all you guys on the Straight forum (except Antigen) talk about everything that happened at Straight as if it was so original when in fact The Seed had done this long before Straighth and had actually dome a much more refined, sophisticated, and professional job. Staight, Life, Growing Together were justg a bunch of copy cat programs and beleive me you guys really missed out on the real thing, in terms of true bonding with friends and real love. It is obvious that at Straight you were a bunch of kids that did not have professional leadership and real dedication, but it is amazing how you talk about that program without discussing the importance of The Seed. Also, it appears that at Straight, in the host homes and group, people did not even mention the name "Seed." Did any of you even know that the Seed existed. I guess it is a shame that you were part of a program and did not even know its origins, which as I said before, The Seed was much more authentic and real than all of the half-baked methods copied and implemented at Straight.
The following lingo was originated at The Seed:
Raps
Get out of your head!
You?re full of shit!
Do not forget where you came from.
Today is the first day of the rest of your life.
I got weird vibes from that.
You could cut the vibes with a knife.

I can relate to what so-and-so said. . .
Get out of yourself
Honesty is the first and most important rule
Do the right thing, and the right thing will happen.
Be careful what you wish for.
If I had know you out there, I would have eaten you up alive.
Druggie friends are like crabs in a bucket.

I Love You
Life is not the journey; it is the destination.
The opposite of love is apathy.
Discipline is the proof of love.
