Thanks to Ex-Mudder for Hubbard's quotes. Let's lift the best parts up to see "Mankind's greatest friend." Here's what Hubbard comes down to in dealing with his critics:

"The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying the lower bands of the tone scale from the social order..."

"...dispose of them quietly and without sorrow."

And you are right, Ex-Mudder, that it is 20% that are PTS to the others and it is 2 1/2% that need to be "deleted" from society. Quietly. (I hear there's a gas that is pretty quiet.)

As to the Venezualan dictator, that quote supports Hubbard's views of simply eradicating people but there is yet another quote from him re the lepers being put on a ship. Your find will suffice to show Hubbard's sense of "humanity."

Listen, folks, this is what Hubbard finally comes down to and what you see re the RTC/OSA attitude towards ARS is a mere harmonic of it. You are to be "deleted...without sorrow." And this is not Borg-talk. This is a real organization whose objective is to remove you from their path, with the attitude that Hubbard gave them. Read what Ex-Mudder gave us, below.
