Ergh!  All you SR players forgive me for this, as I'm going from memory - 
but in SR there was a Universal Brotherhood organization, with slogans like 
"Actualize your inner potential" and "free yourself from those inner 
demons" and all that.  They actively recruited high profile stars and power 
players for their front PR campaigns, and ran soup kitchens that fed the poor.

What was really happening was that the UB was a front for Insect Totems, 
and once people were suffeciently advanced in their "development" they were 
impregnated with Insect spirits and turned into drones of the Insect 
horde.  They also were running an alternative to DocWagon that, certain 
high power folks who were rescued were also impregnated.

The Universal Brotherhood was, at the time, the biggest adventure that SR 
had put out.

Something is happening to America, not something dangerous but something 
all too safe. I see it in my
lifelong friends. I am a child of the "baby boom", a generation not known 
for its sane or cautious approach
to things. Yet suddenly my peers are giving up drinking, giving up smoking, 
cutting down on coffee, sugar,
and salt. They will not eat red meat and go now to restaurants whose menus 
have caused me to stand on a chair
yelling, "Flopsy, Mopsy, Cottontail, dinner is served!" This from the 
generation of LSD, Weather Underground,
and Altamont Rock Festival! And all in the name of safety! Our nation has 
withstood many divisions - North and
South, black and white, labor and management - but I do not know if the 
country can survive division into
smoking and non-smoking sections.
