I am so glad I got out of the LC of Lee.

It is good that we have this window into the real Lee. Those like me who never met or heard Lee speak in person only got to know the 'bondslave' version of Lee that leaders made him out to be. And maybe the LC has toned things down a bit, but the example that Lee set is still there. His way of leadership is still viewed as the model that leaders follow. I'm sure the those who can handle it (such as FTT trainees) still get their share of 'perfecting'.
