They are routinely denied visas and their books cannot be distributed. Don't get me wrong; I despise Scientologists; there's a lot of bad blood between them and Thelemites, due to L.

But they still have a right to follow their moronic religion without impediment. -=- Tim Maroney, Carnegie-Mellon University, Networking ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: seismo!cmu-cs-k!tim CompuServe: 74176,1360 audio: shout "Hey, Tim!"
