"What exactly is the limbic system? Located just below the neocortex, it is the part of the brain that governs – among other emotions – affection, feelings, and most of all empathy"

The founders never gave a thought of the possibilty that human look-alikes would run for office. Should of had another clause in the constitution for requirement for office:

'All candidates for elective and appointive offices must be brain-scanned to determine the presence of a limbic system in their brain. Those who lack such a critical mechanism should be immediately put in a space shuttle and sent back to their own planet at their own expense.'

I am deeply offended by comparing fine upstanding reptiles to the adultorous homicidal "husband," evil creepy shyster, and blind judicial tyrant who murdered Terri.

People who lack empathy are called sociopaths, a euphemistic version of what was once called psychopaths.

Well, the psychopath's defense is to call the rest of us "hysterical".

Nazis first turn their victims into sub humans.

My theory is that Terri’s putative husband Michael, his attorney George J. Felos, and Judge George Greer – who ruled for years against Terri’s right to life – have highly developed reptilian brains and prefrontal lobes, but that they are sorely lacking in anything resembling a normal limbic system.

When will 'journos' stop misquoting the amount of money the abusive husband 'will now inherit'? ... Most of Terri's rehab money was spent to pay Felos, authorized of course by those little god's in black robes, the Floriduh rubber stamptroopers.

All this reptilian nonsense is an example of how the would-be Torquemadas are trying ever so desperately to screw up enough demonization and hatred to cause a lynching of Schiavo, Greer and Felos. That's the only conspiracy going in the Terri Schiavo case.

Many people who lack empathy are also called Scientologists. In Scientology, everything bad that happens to you is all your fault because you weren't "clear." St. Pete's is Scientology Central, and virtually everybody in that case had some connection with Scientology or one of its organizations or representatives.

"The sudden and abrupt deletion of all individuals occupying the lower bands of the tone scale from the social order would result in an almost instant rise in the cultural tone and would interrupt the dwindling spiral into which any society may have entered. It is not necessary to produce a world of clears in order to have a reasonable and worthwhile social order; it is only necessary to delete those individuals who range from 2.0 down, either by processing them enough ... or simply quarantining them from the society."
--Science of Survival, by L. Ron Hubbard (pg 173)

That's it. I think Terri was one of their test cases, and unfortunately, they were able to pursuade most utilitarian Americans that they were right (that's the only thing that would explain the scanty showing outside the hospice).

Won't these same pro-death fellow Americans be surprised when suddenly they discover that their rating has been lowered...

The organization known as Scientology is well known for making unsubstantiated claims of success with their many programs including Narconon, Criminon and Applied Scholastics, which in the end are all simply recruiting fronts for this group. Florida politicians and officials are now frequently associating with Scientologists and seeming to promote these highly questionable and controversial programs and organizations.

Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, M.D. on a book promoting Narconon procedures: "My recommendation about detoxification is to keep away from it. You don't need it. I'm not sure it does what this book describes. It's dangerous. I don't think L. Ron Hubbard has credibility in the scientific world. The author's suggestions about detoxification can be detrimental to your health."

As a Florida resident, voter and taxpayer, I strongly object to our politicians and representatives offering funding or even the air of legitimacy to Scientology, its practices, programs or front groups. These programs have never been independently tested or proven, and are all based on the writings of Scientology founder and science fiction writer, L. Ron Hubbard. Scientologists often rely on politicians and what they refer to as "opinion leaders" in a community in an attempt to gain credibility and support for their dangerous and unproven programs. This page is dedicated to exposing and confronting these officials and politicians, as well as serving as an educational tool for them.

If you find yourself listed on this page, you would be very well served by learning about Scientology and its front groups through the links provided here. If you are a citizen and outraged at our representative's ignorance of the reality of these recruitment fronts and unproven programs, please write or email them and tell them!

The funniest part is, the Tone Scale only goes up to, what, a 4? Not a whole lot of margin for error between being "clear" and being deleted from the face of the earth. And this is the official guideline of the largest, wealthiest, most powerful cult in the United States.

It's amazing, the number of people willing to turn a blind eye to this. Left unchecked, the COS is going to usher in one of the ugliest chapters in American history... you can see it coming from a mile away. Terri was just the beginning.

In a way, we’ll pick-up were Hitler failed. Forget about a master race.

Interesting comment, because one of the Nazi doctors responsible for the Holocaust, back in the early 1940's, said that the continuation of 'the work' would take place in America.

A short history of Scientology (Harlan Ellison interview):
On Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard:

Ellison: Scientology is bullshit! Man, I was there the night L. Ron Hubbard invented it, for Christ Sakes!

I was sitting in a room with L. Ron Hubbard and a bunch of other science fiction writers. L. Ron Hubbard was famous among science fiction writers because he was the first one to have an electric typewriter.

Wings: He claimed to have written Dianetics in a weekend, and nobody can deny it.

Ellison: That's true. He wrote Dianetics in one weekend, and you know how he used to write? He used to take a roll of white paper, like paper you wrap fish in. He had it on the wall, and he would roll it into the typewriter and he would begin typing. When he was done, he would tear it off and leave it as one whole long novel.

We were sitting around one night... who else was there? Alfred Bester, and Cyril Kornbluth, and Lester Del Rey, and Ron Hubbard, who was making a penny a word, and had been for years. And he said "This bullshit's got to stop!" He says, "I gotta get money." He says, "I want to get rich".

< snip >

. . . Sat down, stole a little bit from Freud, stole a little bit from Jung, a little bit from Alder, a little bit of encounter therapy, pre-Janov Primal Screaming, took all that bullshit, threw it all together, invented a few new words, because he was a science fiction writer, you know, "engrams" and "regression", all that bullshit. And then he conned John Campbell, who was crazy as a thousand battlefields. I mean, he believed any goddamned thing. He really believed blacks were inferior. I mean he really believed that. He was also very nervous when I was in his office because I was a Jew. You know, he was afraid maybe I would spring horns or something.

Anyhow, the way he conned John was that he had J. A. Winter, who was a doctor, who was a close friend of John's, and he got him to run this article on Dianetics, the new science of mental health.

Wings: Dianometry was the first article, I believe.

Ellison: Right. And science fiction fans will go for any goddamm thing.

From Excerpt from Wings Interview: The Real Harlan Ellison (page 32).

I've read Both Ellison and Hubbard, and Ellison is, by far, the superior writer. Hubbard is a real chore -- a root canal is relaxing by comparison.

Also, you might enjoy Operation Clambake The fight against the Church of Scientology on the Net.

That scares me silly, but I think you're correct.

Saddam Hussien and his sons would delight in the starvation of the Iraqi people. I'm sure these demons from hell used starvation as a means of horrific torture and death just for the sheer pleasure of seeing people in barbaric agony.

Today he is in jail being fed while awaiting his trial. At least a demon from hell gets a trial and meals.

More than anything an innocent Terri got from the world's greatest superpower in the 'land of the free and the home of the brave'.
