I will remonstrate mildly about your application of the "propaganda" epithet to LHSA. Webster defines the word as: "any systematic, widespread, deliberate indoctrination or plan for such indoctrination: now often used in a derogatory sense, connoting deception or distortion." The word derives from "propagate" and has been used in terms of the "propagation of the faith" a neutral meaning that carries no negative sense. But for the last 60 years or so. it bears connotations of Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, Soviet Russia and the rest of the Communist world. And is an incorrect and oblique slap at LHSA and one that I am certain was not intentional.
