I visited my travel agent yesterday and got my airline tickets for the Clearwater Memorial Picket. My travel agent asked me what I was going to be doing in Clearwater and I told her that I was going to protest the murder of Lisa McPearson who was kidnapped, tied up, and starved to death at the Fort Harrison Hotel. "We're going to be picketing the Hotel staff," I saisd, not wanting to mention the Scientology crime syndicate. I rarely mention my hobbies outside of my department since I don't wish to unexpectedly offend anyone.

The response was unexpected but delightful: "Oh, I just saw something about that," she said.

I said, "Yep, they were handed felony indictments last Friday."

She then said, "That's the Scientologists, right?"

After I confirmed that, she covered in summation her dealings with the cult, including the following:

• o Family members of hers went to the bOrg in Hollywood without announcing themselves first and, she said, the cultists inside acted extremely paranoid and insane, demanding to know "who sent you!?" and other idiot cultspeak. Her family members were escorted out by angry, upset, and violent cultists.

• o Friends and neighbors of hers had nothing but distasteful dealings with Scientology cultists who wanted nothing other than money, more money, and more money from them.

• o And, as is typical with the thriving cult of greed and power, she told me that the cult refused to pay its bills until finally the travel agent dropped them as a client. The cultists would pay a few bucks and then promise to pay their bills later -- next month. Next month would come around and the cult would again promise to pay their bills next month. And so on.

  As I collected my tickets and was leaving, she told me to have fun and "do good work." I fully intend to participate and show my disfavor with a cult that does these kinds of things as a matter of criminal ideology; absolutely. While my travel agent said she didn't have Internet access, she told me she knew all about Scientology from her experiences and the experiences of her friends and family.

  Another Big Win for the cult. Everyone hates these criminals, in fact, and that was confirmed later that day when I stopped by QA and told people I was leaving. "Those creeps need some shaking up," I was told by one guy. Another guy suggested that collecting baseball cards would be cheaper and he further suggested that they're going to find my body floating in pieces in the Florida everglades.

  It seems that _everyone_ knows what Scientology is.
