HAROLD'S JOURNAL
Well, now. Haven't I been put in my place.
I guess now I know better than to mess with big, important folks from LA.
Narconon
®, it turns
out, is a wonderful program after all. They said so. And
that, of course, is what AP reported last weekend, gutsy organization that
they are.
Now, we already had enough of Narconon's own material to tell you what they
would say about their program. Of course it's wonderful. What else would
you expect them to say?
We thought you had a right to know what they weren't saying. And we found
plenty they were staying quiet about.
There is no shame in not knowing the difference between an ugly duck and
the goose that laid the golden egg. The shame is in not changing ones
thinking when one finds out the difference.
Mr. Miles, from the Health Planning Commission is a likable individual in a
tough spot. His head is not hooked to an E-meter after all. He simply has
to live by somebody else's regulations. Mr. Bridges is a fine fellow, too,
with a sincere, personal interest in trying to help the Indian people. But
he's in the same situation. Which boils down to the fact that the state can
do nothing about the situation because everything is quite legal.
Narconon says it is not connected in any way with the Church of
Scientology
®. Fine. It was
just started by Scientologists, and
Scientologists run it. But that is a coincidence of nature...
Suppose that next week, Doc S. announces he is going to start a Birth
Control Clinic that adheres to the methods of John Paul II. What are you to
believe about his operation?
This deal is no different. A consistent history and long term reputation,
documented in print doesn't change just because one refuses to read it or
check it out. No matter how many times you "play it again, Sam," the record
stays the same.
We'd all like the Chilocco project to be the grand and glorious
establishment it's makers say it will be... helping humanity and providing
economic assistance to the Indian people as well.
But I'm afraid if it looks like a duck, and sounds like a duck, and walks
like a duck, it's probably a duck.
