The Low Down

About L. Ron Hubbard

The Scientology Religion: "At this dawning of the twenty-first century, scientific and technological advances have far outdistanced the humanities. Yet while those advances have provided the technology to explore the surface of a planet 200 million miles away, or map the blueprint of a body, they have not solved the human misery that pervades whole countries, nor the scourge of drugs that ruins millions of lives daily. Instead, they have spawned weapons of such magnitude that could destroy the entire planet in moments. And in the midst of all of this, Man's age-old questions go unanswered: Who am I? Where do I come from? And why am I here?"

The whole article is pretty intense. But I'll take up here the topic contained to at least some degree, in that of what has been accomplished by where do we stand.

Technological advance beyond our wildest dreams. How many of those in India are starving, even when India is itself one of the technology premiers of the world?

The more I want to continue on it, the more I want to scoff. Were we to confront who we are, where we came from and what we're doing here, maybe we'd at the least aim and be on target to resolve those things we need to. Do you believe it is out of our grasp to put food in the hands of children in India? How much food is thrown away in America an hour not because you cooked to much, but because "they never buy the whole lot, there's always boxes that just get thrown away."
