I managed to hear the last 25 minutes or so (translates into about 15
minutes...Good Lord, does that San Antonio station have a lot of commercials
and station breaks clumped together or what?). Interesting was the last
woman caller towing the Scientology party line; she proceeded then to
gratuitously boast of possessing a PHD and having completed "eleven years"
of "college." I couldn't stop wondering in what field of inquiry she had
devoted such scholarly energy. Whatever it was, none of her academic
background provided sufficient grounding for critical thought.
But I strongly suspect she was lying about her educational background. In
fact, I'm willing to crawl out on a fairly sturdy limb and wager 10,000,000
XENU BUCKS that she has no PHD.
Also interesting were the closing remarks by the host. He pointed out to the
listening audience (as if this were really necessary for their behalf, but
I'm glad he did because it indicated that he indeed grasped the sinister
character of the Scientology cult) that any organization that attracts so
much negative attention and critical commentary in proportion to so very few
positives, must at the very least have some serious institutional problems.
I hope he continues to investigate the cult further in order to realize how
serious this understatement really is.
