I don't know where I am in the program but it feels like step 10 or 11. Is that enough of a back ground? I was born with an innate hatred of being told what to do and I was already well a well established libertarian when I found FDR. The most difficult push for me is eliminating God or "The...

I think that Neo-Tech never focused enough on the specific cause of all society's problems which is child abuse and neglect by parents.
