> why did Fresco trademark RBE?

I might hazard a guess that was some laywer out to make sure they got paid to look useful.

> had his lab confiscated back in time..

Thats possible, perhaps he has some pictures from that time, and can tell us what he was working on in that lab. (A background story to how come it got taken away would also be interesting..)

> That's the first I've heard of this "confiscated lab."

Me2, but then Fresco hasn't had this oppertunity to talk so much, so there maybe yet more things that are fresh to hear.

But, it does make me a tiny bit suspicious.

Getting him to read his own forum is hard enough!

>> The best/worst part of the radio address is that Merola wants his members to "stop caring about what others think of them."

That's obviously worked wonders for others trying to create revolutions.

His mistake is not this, but in not listening to specific errors he is making.

I get told I'm crazy all the time, but I take no notice of that, what I do try and take notice of, if when someone says something more specific, such as your making a mistake with X and Y, then I look to address those particular issues, and often folk will come up with a suggestion as well, and its worth listening and pondering about those.

As such, over the years I've adjusted my plans, and the amount of your crazy talk has reduced as my plans and achievements focus in on the more practical side of things, whilst still maintaining some of their idealistic zeal of their origional birth.

PJ just appears mostly to stick his fingers in his ears and doesn't listen at all.. :-(

He is stuck in that area I see politicans get stuck in, anything you say to them, isn't seen as possible help, but just as a personal attack.

That, coupled with his stupidity, yes, lack of intelligence! means he isn't able to understand and grasp certain things, even when you wave them about in his face and point to perfectly valid examples of where he is wrong, he still can't see it.

> "stop caring about what others think of them."

Would be good advice, if they was on the right track...
