Don't forget the part about humans evolving from clams... Seriously, everyone should check out xenu.net; it's hilarious and informative.
Putting the insanity aside for a second, Michael Sklar is well within his rights. He is a legal truth-seeker. Heck, he could single-handedly bring about vouchers.
Wouldn't it be astonishing and ironic if he won, and we had the scientologists (of all people) to thank for vouchers? Talk about making lemonade out of lemons, finding good in the midst of complete evil!
In New York City subway stations, there is a poster supposedly celebrating the 100th anniversary of the subway system. It's a fun, brightly-colored poster, done in a a "naive" style, showing all sorts of activity in a subway station. While waiting for my train, I started to pay closer attention to the figures in the poster. The whole thing is a subtle advertisement for $cientology. The figures are all wearing t-shirts with writing on them such as "Dianetics" (which is the so-called psychotherapy arm of the church of $cientology); another advertises the church's so-called detox and "purification" programs (which are supposed to "clear" the body of trace memories of drugs that supposedly everyone has tried at some point in the past) -- these programs (which are called "rundowns" by church members) are simply recruiting tools; they have no accepted medical value. Another t-shirt advertises a propaganda booklet written by their leader, L. Ron Hubbard, called "The Way to Happiness." Another shirt mentions the name of their in-house propaganda magazine, "Free Winds." Etc. I was shocked. Considering the screw-up the MTA made with the posters encouraging black youth to read (which embarrassingly states "Read Books. Get Brain.") showing an attractive girl sitting on the lap of a studious-looking fellow, I'm wondering if I should contact the MTA and let them know about the $cientology content of their anniversary poster.
Co$ is a huge presence in Los Angeles, where it owns more property in the town of Hollywood (which is basically a slum) than any other organization. It would be horrible if it started to appear publicly in New York as well.
