I thought so, George.  I&#039;VE got 38 years (got sober in &#039;81).  For the record, I&#039;m also a former heroin addict.  I only mention this because it helps me see what a scam Narconon is.  I was tempted to say it&#039;s worthless, but it&#039;s worse than worthless; it&#039;s malevolent.]]></description>

You are quite right.

In hindsight, it was wrong of me to suggest the date Nov. 11 and I should have tried to make my point without using that date.

You are quite right that veterans deserve to be honored for the sacrifices they made and all citizens of free countries owe a great debt of gratitude to veterans.

Sorry.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[One thing that probably amazes a lot of others after they get out is to encounter &quot;psychs&quot; or people who&#039;ve been helped by it, and to find that everything you were told about them was a lie. 

They don&#039;t drug everyone. They don&#039;t actually try to drug anyone as a first resort. There is overprescription and underprescription that goes on, but they aren&#039;t making money off every prescription like Scn has told you. They don&#039;t want to keep people on them for life. ECT is exceedingly rare these days (another fiction from Hubbard&#039;s 1950s understanding of the world). It goes on forever.

But most of all, the biggest lie is that no one can help you except Scientology. Psychologists and therapists and social workers et al help millions of people without any drugs. And those who do try medications often are helped greatly by them. 

It&#039;s completely mind-blowing to people who have fully bought into the Hubbard way of thinking - I was never one - but it leaves you feeling terribly suspicious of some of the absolute kindest people on earth, people who have devoted their lives to helping people feel a little better just by talking.
