Maybe Kelso can explain scientology to me. I researched it more than once, but couldn't understand what it was about.

Wow, I'm glad I bothered to do the search. I hope im getting this right, but I never would have made the connection that Jamie Kelso is the same as the one in "what really happened to the class of 65″.

ME:

I answered these with, "I hope you're joking."

Then it occurred to me that Jamie did, in fact, go through a scientology phase. I didn't know he published in that period. I don't know. I don't much care.

None of this was at the front of my consciousness when critical issues were at stake.

As for explaining scientology, Jamie said he found it was just a fraud.

Like me, he went through many phases.

But if anybody wants to, they can see why I went with Jamie to this and other conferences.

You suggest terms for a search, your students follow suit and look it up. The Internet being the massive database it is provides interesting facts. The student then goes back to the seminar leader and expresses awe about over a new fact learned. Student gets met with scorn! Gee, reminds me of high school again.

What we said may be trivial to our topic of saving our race. May I suggest that unless you want the most trivial item about a person or topic expressed by one or more commenters, don't tell us to look it up then get cranky about the inevitable, because it will happen again.

Now Bob, from this Ive learned until Ive forgotten, that the trivial items will bother you or maybe you missed a nap? This commenter will never be sure.
