I was being extremely sarcastic.

This just shows that they make no difference whatsoever.]]></description>

&quot;you need to&quot;, or &quot;you should&quot; are also the buttons pushed by those too lazy to get off their own asses and DO something, as anyone who has volunteered for any social group will recognize.  I finally started saying&quot;If you&#039;re so hot about it getting done, you&#039;re the PERFECT person to take charge and get others to work on it.  You&#039;re appointed, effective immediately.&quot;  Worked every time, even when I didn&#039;t have any authority.  Either they dug in nd got &#039;er done, or they quietly slunk away.  Some good new programs came of it, too.]]></description>

Jay Tee:
scientology&#039;s &quot;presence&quot; in California is all smoke &#038; mirrors and sock puppets of Davey-Boy&#039;s minions ( the few who still remain)....  ARE there more than the 30 or so scns who show up in pictures from time to time?  Are there even that many? He&#039;s been caught trying to use Photoshop to artificially inflate the numbers captured &quot;in the wild&quot; at various events he&#039;s had staged for his glorification.  AND we&#039;ve seen calls for actors to play the parts of scn &quot;extras&quot; in other photo shoots.]]></description>
