Scientology war update

Wired has a good article on how the war of words on alt.scientology.religion
has split over into dawn raids and hardware seizures:

http://www.wired.com/wired/3.12/features/alt.scientology.war.html

If this is what can be achieved, think what can happen when the
government _really_ puts its back it suppression. Time to PGP every
file I own...

There was a hilarious parody of Scientology on tonight's episode
of "Millenium."  A Cult named "Selfosophy," created by a really bad
writer named Onan Goopta, with a propensity to sue everyone, was
featured.  It had a large celebrity membership, and helped people
overcome negative thoughts with a device called an "Onan-o-Graph."

LOL!

Onan is commonly (albeit incorrectly) credited with the invention of
masturbation.  (See Genesis 38:6-10 in the Bible)  I wonder what sort of
thoughts the Onan-o-graph induces? [snicker, snicker]

Don't mean to spoil the fun, but that article's over two years old.

Though I hear Helena K is still sending nastygrams. At the anonymity conf
over the weekend, I talked to a lawyer who knew and met her. He called her
"mousy," among other things.

Speaking of Scientologists, last week's episode of Millenium, almost a
self-parody, had a wonderful sendup of "Selfologists" and its founder
"Onan Gupta".

Isn't "Handgun Contol, Inc." the place where they align your gun-sights
for free?

Yes, but you won't like the way they're aligned when they're done....
