I agree with you on that... L. Ron retired and lived on his yacht to avoid the I.R.S. for tax evasion; consequently he always had many young men 'friends' with him on the boat.
But I never bothered to read any of his books; I was unfortunate enough to have been coerced into seeing that horrible flop of a movie 'Battle Field Earth'. Waste of time and money.
If you want to get a good laugh, check out the anti-scientologist site [
www.Xenu.net ], it was made by a former scientologist who after years of service and thousands upon thousands of dollars spent on scientology was fortunate enough to have an epiphany and got out. The best part, he has actual documents from L. Ron Hubbard telling the scientology leaders how to deal with issues. He was one ruthless bastard that L. Ron.
