I was fascinated by Times staff writer Thomas C. Tobin's report, one of many he has written on Scientology.
Science fiction seems to be at work here.
Scientology, through its phalanx of lawyers, obtained the name and property of the Cult Awareness Network, which had originally been set up to warn people about groups like Scientology. As a result, people targeted by cults or parents with kids in cults who call that CAN number will now be talking to a Scientologist. But the Scientologists go to such extremes to avoid exposure that I often wonder what they are really up to. Give me sweetness and light, harmony and understanding any day. I had to laugh reading the article about Bubba the Love Sponge and Sheriff Everett Rice.
