pasting in a pic to a larger collage like that, in addition to being pointless, is a good demo of “fair use” even if it is for commercial purposes.

hgc10,

You’ve just gotta get with the logic being used here with regard to the reason for Ideal Orgs in the Continental Midwest now.

Honestly, its not complicated.

For example, Joan Crawford was born in San Antonio, Texas, but then her mother remarried and moved the family to Lawton, Oklahoma, where little Joan spent much of her childhood.

Now, right here you have just TWO out of the two hundred reasons for the necessity for the establishment of Ideal Orgs in both San Antonio, TX AND Lawton, Oklahoma!

Here’s another one, off the top of my head: Joan Crawford’s real name was Lucille Fay LeSeur. This is # 12 for San Antonio.

And another item on Lawton list of 100 – #82, I believe: The Song “Okie From Musgogee” was Number 1 on Billboard Magazine’s Hot Country Singles chart for 4 straight weeks back in 1969. Of course, this is causing waves with Musgogee Scientologists who want to start their own Ideal Org and use this reason, but hey, we’ll let them work this out.

Point being, these are just a few of the reasons illustrating the immediate vital need for Ideal Orgs throughout the breadbasket of our nation. And the time is now.

Roger, thanks for your kind response. I appreciate it, and you’re right, there was something, is something, with me, connected to this phrase, this concept. Many years ago I thoughtlessly and unintentionally did something, or more accurately did not do something, which contributed to disastrous consequences which were irremediable, for which I was not blamed by anyone but which nonetheless caused me a lot of anguish and regret that stayed with me on a fundamental level for a long time.. This thing stayed with me, I couldn’t shake it. One of the major ways that Scientology courses and auditing helped me over the years was to stop “regretting yesterday”. For me it was no small thing. Much of my young life was spent regretting and not being happy when in fact I had plenty to be happy about. Perhaps other practices would have helped me too. Its possible. I couldn’t say because I didn’t do other things.

Please don’t think that I’m sharing this with you to change your mind, your viewpoints. I don’t want to do that. Though our experiences and opinions may differ on some points they are each important, each equally valid.

Somewhere Q is laughing.Love to you 2. Ann B.

Aquamarine, I understand Hubbard’s statement and have no quarrel with it. Perhaps your experience with that quote led you to a life-altering epiphany and you want to credit Hubbard even though he was merely conveying conventional wisdom found in a million other places.

I refer you to the story of the Buddhist monk who attained liberation upon the sound of his turd hitting the water. His enlightenment was real but it wasn’t the turd that did it.

Election results in English ain’t making much sense lately, either.
