Don't let race or gender decide this election

I am afraid that this election will come down to the color of your skin or if you are male or female.

I have no problem with a black or woman president. What I DO have a problem with is voters or even the candidates themselves making their race or gender a reason to get them elected. Just because there has never been a black or female president is not a legitimate reason to vote for them. Anyone who votes for them because "Wouldn't it be nice if there was a black or female president? They have been oppressed in the past and this would show the world how we have changed." is an entirely superficial way of thinking. Segregation showed us that the color of your skin does not matter. Woman's rights showed us that woman are just as capable as men.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (and women, regardless of your color) are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." - The Declaration of Independence (my comment above)

The real question is, can they lead the country? Do they have the skills and abilities to keep us safe, strengthen the economy, unite our nation, restore America's declining morality, pay off our dept, fight injustice? Topics such as these transcend race and gender.

Scientology OT Summit 2007: "We were wrong, let us sell you the lie again"

I watched the OT Scientology Summit video while packing and let me give you the summary. OT is what they call Operating Thetans, or in real-world terms, people who have paid enough money to be brainwashed so they get preferred treatment from the "church". In the 3 hour meeting they basically say everything you have learned and was taught was a lie, which is why you could not understand anything (to which there was massive standing applause). And who is to blame for this gross error? The secretary. Seriously guys, I'm not making this stuff up. LRH (L Ron Hubbard, their science fiction writer and founder) was recorded on tape telling all about his false religion and they gave the job to a transcriber to write down everything he said and in their words gross amounts of it was mistranslated, mistyped or lost and and written down from the very beginning and all of this was taught. This negates everything they have published, taught and believed in before. And guess what? They have an entire new book series for you to purchase entitled "The Basics". Yes folks, Scientology screwed up so bad that they have to go back to the basics.

Scientology is barely 50 years old. It is a lie, it is a cult, they have to constantly hide cover up information, change their doctrine, and it all is riddled with holes. The Bible is thousands of years old, it has not changed, it has always been attacked and to this day it stands the test of time and proven over and over again. It deeply saddens me to see to see this mass of people who are truly misled by this cult.

Hackers vs Scientology. Let the truth be know, Scientology is a lie.

So it has been a while since I have posted anything, but I hope to post more regularly. Recently hackers have declared war on Scientology flooding their servers, fax machines, and posting videos that make their biggest $$ supporters $$ (Tom Cruise) look bad. The Scientologists are attempting to censor the internet. In this day and age with technology, it is easier for a lie to spread, but at the same time, it is also easier for the truth to be known. I say, more power to them. Wired has a nice article on it:
