# FRANCE MAY BAN SCIENTOLOGY. France is considering banning the Church of
Scientology, which it regards as a sect rather than a religion. The
Justice Minister, Elisabeth Guigou, made it clear that the future of the
organisation in France was under close scrutiny. Her remarks came as US
officials expressed concern over the growing intolerance shown to minority
religious groups in some European countries. Scientologist bribes raise
US official sensitivity: http://www.sightings.com/politics4/france.htm
: How powerful is your belief system? Over what political structures do you
hold sway? Do other belief systems & political structures fear/despise you?

# NUN EXPOSES DIOCESE, DEPOSES PRIESTS & BISHOP: Sister Kelly ripped the lid
off the Santa Rosa Diocese, opening the local Catholic administration to
national scrutiny in the face of a far-flung scandal involving allegations
of embezzlement, sexual misconduct, and a role in a billion dollars worth
of coverups. http://www.metroactive.com/sonoma/hellraiser-9936.html
# REFORM SCHOOL - Scandals move church activists to push for radical changes
in clergy. Recent headlines have trumpeted what seems like a never-ending
parade of Catholic bishops, priests, and lay clergy entangled in shocking
sexual misconduct cases with men, women, and children. Catholicism is "a
culture of collusion." Why can't a 2,000-year-old institution with a
billion faithful figure out how to clean up its act? Here's an idea: Get
rid of the celibacy mandate. Or ordain women as priests. Or talk openly
about sex. http://www.metroactive.com/sonoma/hellraiser2-9936.html
: Is your belief system manipulative, exploitative, self-protecting? Are all
belief systems and hierarchies? How much do you spend on cover-ups? Where??

@ YOU EVOLVE AS LIGHT. So the light source which you are leaves in teleport-
ation at the death of the body and then moves quickly seeking another body
to nest in. But as you do you take with you feelings and degrees of evolu-
tion. You hover and then are drawn to another female body and you enter
in and nest in another fetus. That fetus is filled with chromosomes and
genetics but now you have evolved as light to a higher degree and you
can make a difference in this body where you could not make a difference
before. http://www.hiddenmeanings.com/light.html#EVOLVE
: Have you been reincarnated lately? Into what? Do you make a difference? Do
you teleport often? If you're dead, how can you evolve? Do you have a body?

sari, a button-down suit, a bike outfit, nothing? What're y'r fave drugs??

# Art as Human Sashimi. LINZ, Austria. Once again the boundaries of art
were pushed at Ars Electronica, where the Plastinator and fluorescent-
dog man provoked thought and elicited stares. Are you trans-human yet?

: Have you been sliced'n'diced, injected with fluorescent dyes & glowtubes,
rewired, reprogrammed, rebuilt? What's your favorite rebuild? Are you art?

"Beards must be SHAPED. It requires a certain precision. Bleary-eyed
in the morning, I'd rather just brute-force my face into hairless
smoothness. It's easier. Beardists are into shaping, which is further
proof of my theory that all beardists are shape-shifters, or at least
werewolves, in disguise." --WILY COYOTE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
