Good try for the Hemet DA, "Clark" but scientology, with their usual sense of timing, just came out with a new issue of the censor program. What would you like to bet that alt.religion.scientology and me are on it? With very few exceptions (like yourself) scientologists don't read a.r.s. If they are *good* scientologist, they *can't* read it because they have the censor program installed. > If Henson really said that to you why doesn't he leave the

I don't have any problem with scientologists thinking they are infested with murdered space aliens. It is all that different from believing in virgin birth. My problem is with scientology defrauding people who don't have strong enough defenses to being regged, "treating" people like Lisa McPherson, being callous about human life to the point they kill people like Ashlee Shaner, or locking people up in dangers places like chain lockers or transformer vaults. I also have a problem with bribing or blackmailing government officials. > Henson's actions demonstrate the exact opposite.

Please repost one and show were I have been inciting to violence. > You seem to have the wrong concept of what article 422 is about. 422

You make my point exactly. As you say, it doesn't matter. If Clark has a pathological fear of being buggered in public, and I make a 1.1 joke about buggering the whole class of people he belongs to, then according to your analysis I could be charged under 422. Right. If you have a pathological fear of being infested with murdered space aliens . . . no, we won't go there. Keith Henson

If anyone is inclined to dig around in the dust bins of history (back when I was president of the L5 Society) here is a tidbit I turned up while looking for something else. It provides an (almost forgotten) third party peek into the way I react. (Northwest L5 was a chapter of the national organizaion.) Keith Henson http://www.asi.org/adb/06/01/nss-chapters-01.html "Not long after the founding of the Northwest L5 Society, there was a letter in that famous technical journal, Playboy magazine, harshly criticizing the concept of space colonies. Both Keith Henson and I wrote letters to the editor. They printed Keith's letter with just his name, and right after it, my letter, with the unfortunate misprint of my signature, "Gregory R. Bennett, President, L5 Society." Oops; they had dropped the "Northwest" part. I was horrified and called Keith to apologize, but he was amused by the error and complimented me on my reply."
