Sorry, folks, this isn't going to be a usual post. Today, I have a mission. A very serious business mission. I'm just going to quote my recent Facebook note on it, though.
"There aren't sufficient words in the English language to describe my disgust with the attitude of Scientology towards psychiatry.
Now they're promoting their anti-scientific views on craigslist, inviting people to come and watch some free videos.

Feel free, if this annoys you as much as it does me, to flag these advertisements as spam. The last one, at least, is offense on a couple of levels, as it showcases a film that tries to tie psychiatry to the Holocaust (well, the Hollcaust, but they aren't fooling anyone with their poor grammar). That seems to me to be very similar to what Ben Stein & co. tried to do in Expelled with evolution. "Hitler used the theory of evolution to justify killing the Jews!"
Hitler seems to be a very well educated man. He's very savvy in evolutionary theory, socialism, and psychiatry. And probably a few other areas I'm forgetting. Well, he's also a biographer, let's not forget that."
Again, if this is something that irritates you, click the "flag as spam" link on the page(s). Scientology is not only promoting poor science, but also poor documentaries.
If you are a Scientologist, please disregard this post.
Editor's Note: Seems that the internet is quicker than I can type. The posts seem to be in the process of being taken down. Go Internet!
