Art's Motives . . In the Beginning & Later ???
GregFL:
One last thing Filobee...you didn't "stumble" onto this board...you actively searched it out. It is impossible to just stumble upon this discussion site.
Filobeddoe:
First to respond to a couple questions....
The political office he ran for may have been Congress?... or County Commissioner? I don't recall. In my scrapbook I have a copy of a bumper sticker (white background with Art Barker in big red letters) and a photo of him from the brochure but the part I kept didn't say what the office was. All I remember about it was that he lost & I passed out some brochures and may have put a bumper sticker on my car.
Don't remember anything about the poolside incident with you & Art. He wouldn't have mentioned it to anyone in the group unless he could have used it as a way to impress people. He probably kept it quiet & only people there & sr staff knew about it. Seems like something he wouldn't want anybody to know about? Might have been quite embarrassing to him.
I "did" stumble across this board... did a search for The Seed Art Barker because I was thinking about an old friend from the seed & found this board. Your statement to the contrary seems to suggest you didn't believe what I said?

As to the original topic... everyone can have a theory (conspiracy theory or otherwise) or an opinion as to the motives of this person (Art Barker) but only a few prople really have a good idea.
People who were on staff saw things & heard things that most of us never knew about & might offer some insight into this man. It would have been interesting to be a "fly on the wall" during meetings with the inner circle.
I personally would like to know if he was a) a Great Man b) a egotistical meglomaniac or c) something else....

Try B and C and let your imagination do the walking in filling in C.

I only meant that you had to go searching for this site, you really can't just stumble upon it like you might a well publised site. You can't even type "the seed" into a browser, you gotta couple it with "Art Barker" to get a hit.
The seed was a big part of all of our young lives. I don't blame you for looking for some discussion of it.
Glad to have you around here, and I have no reason to doubt one word you have said...
GregFL:
Filobbe, in 76 or 77 he ran for Congress in Broward County, Florida and lost. It was during my post seed days and I felt it totally crazy that he would even be considered.
