Reflections of a stormy petrel

To regard a Scientologist as a trusted friend and adviser is like giving your money to Bernie Madoff, except that your feelings and even personality can suffer equally. And it leaves me astonished that the Palins could have reached middle age without getting to hear an earful about the horrors of the "church" in question. Even those who, unlike me, have not seen in person what it can do to a man, must have read the horror stories in the newspapers - all true - and met people who know about it. It seems that even John Travolta has finally seen through them, so there is no excuse for anyone who does not.
