"Be careful though, Scientologists have a looonnnggg arm, they'll get you....?

I would say the problem with Scientology down there is nothing to sneeze at...

Clearwater Florida, especially downtown Clearwater, is Scientology's worldwide spiritual headquarters and main training ground. Scientology brochures claim that Clearwater Florida has the "largest community of Scientologists in the world." Back in 1998, Scientology generated from 1.5 to 2 million dollars of income per week. This material success enables them to maintain ownership of tens of millions of dollars worth of property (about 40 buildings) as well as many businesses:

To date, the church owns more than $50-million in Clearwater-area properties and is nearing completion of a $50-million Mediterranean Revival-style building nicknamed "Super Power." Additionally, the church now has 565 hotel rooms in and near downtown for visiting Scientologists from all over the world who consider Clearwater their spiritual mecca.

It is interesting to note that Terri is buried there. It looks like one town will be receiving lots of revenue from people visiting her grave site.

The cemetery is pretty quiet. They lined the driveways with American Flags for the 4th. The flag is supposed to stand for freedom. It's not a good time to be disabled.
