Differences Between Straight and The Seed
Antigen:
I can only speak for myself. But I really never trusted anyone at Straight. Soon as I was able, I split and didn't look back for a long time.
I don't think those Seed friendships were real enduring either, though. At least I know that my 3 brothers, one sister and a sister in law never stayed in touch w/ any Seedlings for very long after they graduated. (my brother was in love w/ his future wife before the Program; litterally the girl next door)
The optimist thinks that this is the best of all possible worlds, and the pessimist knows it.

I think I understand what anon was getting at. The Seed relationships, at least the inner circle ones, were based on compliance and submission to Art, therefore they were not real. If you asserted inviduality, they dropped you like a hot potatoe.
Cultic love is conditional and not real, but the cult members truly believe they love you, and they truly believe they are cutting you off for your own good. This is true of all personality cults.

Who was Lybbi? :question:
Antigen:
Lybbi McDonald. No relation to the Ronald McDonald folks who sold their franchise operation to J.R. Crock. Her father was wealthy, though, behind the invention of some then new innovation in milk shake technology, I shit you not. Last I looked, McDonald's hogi shop was still open for business at Hilsborough Inlet in Pompano. I can't remember the exact spot, but it's somewhere in the vacinity of the Yardarm site:

The way I remember the legend, poor Lybbi's wealthy parents abandoned her and refused to support Art's bottomless thirst for mo money (uh... I mean to support her Program, I mean... yeah, that's it) So Art and Shelly 'adopted' her after she came of age. I don't know if there ever was any more legal substance for that than there was for calling the Seed a drug rehab. But that was the official line.
Lybbi never left the program. She married another Seedling and remained on staff till 'the rap from hell', which split Seedlings into two camps; Art or Lybbi. That was sometime around 2000 or later. Last I heard, she's given over warping the minds of young humans in favor of more maliable, less intelligent greyhound dogs.
Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet.
