Maybe their theme song it Rubber Duckie. I think Ernie sang it on Sesame Street. Or, it could be the kid song Little Duckie Duddle. At any rate it all seems a bit child-like, which is more than a little scary IMO.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[This is all so nauseating ... I literally had to stop halfway through these PR scientology puff pieces to take half a Phenegran tablet to calm my stomach and tamp down the rising bile in my gut. How can all of these people be so god damned delusional. Sick!

					<description><![CDATA[They are KILLING me with these WordArt posters. &quot;Ooh, I just found the gradient button. I need to use that! A lot!&quot;

And that guy joining Columbus staff...wow. That is not excitement on his face. What I see in his eyes is defeat.  That&#039;s the look of a man who has given up being in charge of his own life and knows it.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Orange County&#039;s population is actually up by over a million in the last 36 years - Scientology, it&#039;s always worse than you think, including their their decline and failure.  Does anyone have any idea how many missions in the county have closed in that time?  I don&#039;t know California well enough to look down the long list of long gone missions and know which were in OC; in 1979 there were something like 44 total orgs and missions, and now they&#039;re down to about 35, while it looks like there must be close to 100 missions in the state that have come and gone over the years:

http://www.xenu-directory.net/documents/corporate/entities.php?groupby=jurisdiction#j-5

And if or when they open the Ventura facility being moved from Santa Barbara, one might think they&#039;d have to confront that making California &quot;ideal&quot; is not only not resulting in a boom, but not even halting the loss of locations and membership, though since all the real statistics about that state of things are hidden from the remaining uncritical bubble dwellers, that probably won&#039;t pierce their reality distortion field.]]></description>

Maybe the cultists are attempting to channel Howard the Duck.  Wasn&#039;t he an alien  from a far, far ga-lax-ie?  Perhaps the plastic duckie worn &#039;round the neck is a viewable stand in for Xenu?]]></description>

Yes, I&#039;m sure he laughs at them sometimes and other times just shakes his head in wonder at their utter stupidity, or ignorance, or both.  And they go out of their way to LOOK ridiculous too.  I suppose that looking ridiculous is their concept of &quot;spirit of play&quot;.    With all the information out there about the cult, its hard not to be contemptuous of them.  Its hard to have compassion for them.  Hard for me, anyway.]]></description>
