"Your" board of directors? You're high-enough in the organization to know
about this, or care, and yet post from a throwaway el-cheapo net-zero

It's more like even an LA sheriff known for letting celebrities and the

Does this particular sheriff have a name for letting the rich and famous
off?

Not really, but the *******'s so full of himself that he wears five stars on
his collar, egregious overkill


Can we assume that he's going to retire comfortably to foreign climes?


No, but my California daughter tells me he's one of those dreaded
Scientologists, a brand of faith which ought to be particularly offensive to
persons with naval interests, since the founder thereof attempted, while
holding a US Navy commission and as either officer in charge or CO of a
naval vessel in time of war, attempted a hoax/fraud for which he was
relieved. You may read L. Ron Hubbard's books, but his naval career was a
shameful fraud.

TMO

And he wasn't even in the Alabama National Guard.......?

No Scientologist should be allowed to hold public office.

Religious standards for office have gone out of favor.

Since when? Try getting elected to any political office in the United
States without being Christian or Jewish. I won't say it hasn't
happened, but compare the list of Judeo-Christian politicians to those
who are Buddhist, Hindi, Muslim, or atheist and then let me know if you
still feel that religious standards have gone out of favor in American
politics.


There is a difference between not being allowed to hold and being able
to convince folks to elect you.

Let's see. 90%+ of US people have a Judeo-Christian background.

People vote on who they agree with. People with similar backgrounds
are more likely to have similar positions on issues without having to
think about what religion they are.

NO reason to take it out on the Hilton shareholders and employees though.

I wouldn't weep too much for them. The "company" doing the "boycott"
sounds like it would be lucky to be responsible for financing one
weekend in a hotel per year.

Since this situation is in the US such a condition would be
unconstitutional.

Scientology is not a religion. It's a cult of kooks claiming to believe
in some dopey science fiction...

What's the difference between a religion and a cult? Cults hasn't won a
popularity contest; whereas religions have.

Indeed. But doesn't being nuts disbar one from public office?

Oops. Even as I typed that I thought of a couple of Presidents in recent
memory.

I think that in most jurisdictions in the US being involuntarily in a
mental hospital doesn't necessarily bar you from voting.

eh? This is interesting, I'd not heard that before. What did Hubbard do,
exactly? Sounds like a good story.

Anyone who was named "L" by his parents was bound to turn out bad.

Yes, but the US is a religious extremist country.
