Mary, you are and have always been one of the well intentioned people.  Keep believing in justice.  Rekindle your faith that it will prevail.  Recall Al Capone?  Having people he didn&#039;t like murdered in cold blood, one after the other, year after year?  With even the genius and patience of Elliot Ness unable to nail him?  And then, lo and behold, they got him..  On some pissant tax evasion charge, but it was enough to get him behind bars.  For whatever its worth to you which may not be much, or anything, but for whatever its worth, I have this kind of premonition that, similarly, Co$ will go down.  I have this sense that there will be some relatively small issue - what it will be I have no idea, excepting that compared to all its crimes it will be a relatively minor breaking of the law which will get taken up by those in authority nonetheless, and that will be the start.  Following this there will be more investigations and revelations made widely known...and ultimately...finito.  Look, this is all very vague but it is my &quot;picture&quot;, rather strongly albeit with details missing.  Peace and Happy Thanksgiving to you.]]></description>

I wish the pot-smoking on the front porch time continued without the incursion of heavy drugs and criminal follow-on.
I used to think that the government was meant to clean up our mistakes like mom and dad. I thought for a while that Scientology would help me out of messes too. I actually learned how to not create messes in Scientology because the Ethics and amends were worse than the consequences of said messes.
I have since realized that with drug use and homelessness, the government seems lost at sea about what to do. And a lot of other issues as well. A strong family is still the best bulwark against disaster. That&#039;s why Disconnection is such a hideous ill that Scientology commits against society.
I remember reading a story where a teenage prince admires a handsome duelist for his skill and macho winningness and how their kingdom needs more men like him. An older man at the table points out that a good swordsman in the military kills the enemy, but a duelist kills the taxpayer. The future heir to the throne changed the subject, giving none of his future subjects confidence in his upcoming reign. Scientology is like the swaggering duelist, cutting down productive citizens while crowing about how cool their religion is.]]></description>

Around 1971 I decided to hitchhike to California because I wanted to learn how to surf and got as far as Salt Lake City where I lived for three or four years and eventually got into scn. Being an outsider and with my Eastern accent somehow a rumor got started that I was a narc. Fortunately the rumor didn&#039;t go far and I was able to continue my hippy lifestyle for about two years without major disruption until I got into scn.

In the early 1970&#039;s SLC was probably a lot like Haight Ashbury was in the 1960&#039;s before the hard drugs and criminal element moved in. People would sit on their front porch smoking weed without any particular paranoia while people back East were still quite paranoid about getting busted. Maybe the Mormons thought we were just smoking cigarettes.

Quite sadly there is now an epidemic of hard drug use causing death and destruction with little government help and people desperate to try any means to save loved ones from addiction.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Is that a bit like families who are victims of the mind-fuck perpetrated by the criminal organisation known as the &quot;church&quot; of $cientology sending their unruly kids off to dry out if they (the families) are shocked, SHOCKED, to find their kids drinking?
