    The invasion of South Africa was a classic!

    We can easily tell the difference between a Kim Baker, a Beth
    McCoy or you (Ted), and Andy Milne or Vera Walllace.  I've never
    seen anything but kindness and compassion for a scieno
    actually willing to question, comment and dialogue about the
    beliefs and practices of the cult.

    The same type have.  Remember Paulette Cooper.

    Humorous ridicule is the "weapon" of choice against
    scientology.
