Did I say Good News?
No good news on the political front. No good news on the International events front. Only good news on a person-to-person basis - individuals who are helping others on a one on one basis.
That's what I love so much about Scientology and individual Scientologists. Which is not to say that there aren't a great many wonderful people who help each other all the time. There are. That's the point. They need a hand, and Scientology has workable solutions - actual technology people can use to help themselves and one another.
Here's an example of a place that is helping people - the Church of Scientology of Pasadena. There are terrific people there - some good friends of mine are staff members of the Church, and they really go out of their way to help members and anyone who wants help.
I love the city of Pasadena. It's got all the benifits of a small town and a big city all in one. It has beautiful parks and museums and the Church of Scientology of Pasadena
Current Events
I don't agree with what is going on in Iraq, or how we got there. I think there are factors in this conflict the American public aren't being told about. But one thing I think is vitally important is the PEOPLE involved - both our soldiers and the Iraqi people - not necessarily in that sequence.
One branch of the armed services that is there to help, at least to help the soldiers, is the office of the Chaplain. I happened to find the web site of the US Navy chaplain and I liked what I saw. Here's there web site ChaplainCare Web Page and they have pages for individual religions here: ChaplainCare: Faiths
If the other pages are as fare as the page on Scientology, they are quite good. Here's the Scientology page: Scientology
