I absolutely disagree w/ this statement. This is, of course, my opinion based on what I know and on what I presume. Call it prescience if it pans out, foolishness if it doesn't.
But here's my take on Sue and PURE at this time. There's not a nickle's worth of difference between PURE and WWASP. I think Sue and the people who support her are every bit as sincere in their beliefs and dedicated to doing what they think is right as the WWASP people.
Now, it may be hard for most people to imagine that people like Peppery Spray Jay could possibly believe in what they do. Or even that our frequent anon poster here could possibly believe in the same cause. But I think they believe it just as strongly as any young Muslim who ever strapped a bomb to himself and detonated it in a crowd of people he deemed to be infidels. (here's to hoping this saga never comes to that! ::cheers:: )
But here's the rediculously funny part. So far, as more information becomes available about just what kind of programs Sue deems to be better than WWASPS programs, they seem to lean less toward the overly regimented, clean cut variety and more toward the more classic image of a hippy love cult. Back in the `70's when this industry really started taking root, one of the specters they used to scare the living shit out of parents was the prospect of their confused and rebellious teenager joining the Manson Family or The Farm (Maggie's farm, per Bob Dylan) or following The Dead or some similar group. These hippy love cults, they said, would lure unsupecting, troubled youths w/ love bombing and Utopian dreams of perfect harmony and communal life and then turn them against their own families. Now, somehow, they're getting parents to pay big bucks to do just that!
