As I understand it, Scientologists conduct these interviews with the subject hooked up to a primitive lie detector. Perhaps those outrageous questions are for calibration.

“Have you ever stolen a body from another being?”, “Have you ever obliterated a language?” and “Have you ever despoiled a planet of its natural resources?”

Only occasionally, on an exceptionally slow day.

L. Ron Hubbard is the original troll. The problem is that people actually believed his shit, which also makes him the greatest troll.

I have long felt that the modern tendency to assert that we “know” that this or that historical figure was Gay, or a pedophile, or had an affaire with his sister (when it wasn’t known at the time), is based on the Baby Boom’s assumption that everybody is as horny and incapable of self control as they are. Any man who preferred the company of other men has to have been Gay; it can’t possibly be that he liked talking “shop”, drinking, and smoking and was married to a woman picked out for him by his father. Any man who worked with young boys HAS to have been a pedophile-predator; it simply isn’t possible that he enjoyed molding young minds and/or had the self control to keep his hands to himself.

It doesn’t help that the vast majority of Boomers have the the sense of history one normally associates with a chunk of sandstone.

An additional fact perhaps of interest: Alice Liddell’s father Henry was the co-author, with Robert Scott, of the monumental Greek-English Lexicon, the standard reference for Ancient Greek. In addition to the full version, there are two smaller versions more commonly used by students. The three are known colloquially as the “Big Liddell”, “Middle Liddell”, and “Little Liddell”, with “Liddell” pronounced like “Middle”.
