[read more...]New rebate lawsuit! MSI Computer tries to rip me off. (2008/04/15)
So, following up on the success of my lawsuit against Soyo Group for failing to pay a $20 rebate, I’m suing MSI Computer… for failing to pay a $20 rebate. They did, finally, respond with some kind of explanation of why they haven’t paid it – they claim an error in the submission. Can I correct it? No, the submission period is over.

There was a really compelling Scientologist at one of the protests over the weekend, who was asking a really hard question: Do we want her to just walk away from the religion she’s practiced for twenty years because some guy who can’t even get his facts straight says it’s bad?

So, I went to a protest today against the Church of Scientology. I’ve already written about the reasons. Here’s some impressions from the event:

Once, long ago, the Church of Scientology had a policy, called the “Fair Game” policy. This policy said that “enemies” of the church could be “SP Order. Fair game.
