The Scientologists have a headquarters (world headquarters?) in Clearwater, Florida. You can see these glassy-eyed true believers walking around downtown in their hip little uniforms. My friend refers to them as "the Clearwater Navy." I attended a poetry reading in the building many years ago (before I knew it was the nest for these space cadets). They were very careful to keep outsiders from wandering through certain doors. There was definitely a weird vibe in that building.
Being in Clearwater, they are part of the group behind the push for court legislated euthanasia, using Terri Schiavo as their sacrifice.
