I really admire the Scientologists in Taiwan who are working to help kids stay off drugsAt the Scientology New Years event, David Miscavige spoke about the incredible impact this team is having on school-aged kids, turning them away from drugs before peer pressure to take drugs gets them.The Say NO to Drugs team swears these kids in as Drug-Free Marshals.

Failed Terror AttachIt's really a coup that British intelligence was able uncover and defuse the intended terrorist attack on international air flights yesterday, and a credit to them that they were able to do so.But we really have to come to grips with the underlying causes of these kinds of incidents and take effective action to handle the abuses that creates the climate that permits this kind
