Would you Scientologists please stop editing this post? You are disrespecting my right to free speech.
People should be able to have access to ALL of the information. As such, people should be able to google and wiki the following terms to gain facts about Scientology:
Lisa McPherson
Scientology and Me
Clearwater, Florida
Operation Snow White
Operation Freakout
Fair Game Policy
.. and have access to other related sources that have criticism against Scientology.

ARTICLE 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
— ~The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 10, 1948, in Paris.~,
Quote:
Freedom of opinion, expression and information, recognized as an integral aspect of human rights and fundamental freedoms, is a vital factor in the strengthening of peace and international understanding. It is needed to replace the secrecy and manipulation of information which characterize the culture of war. In this regard, the media can be a powerful partner for the construction of a culture of peace. Its technological advances and pervasive growth have made it possible for every person to take part in the making of history, enabling for the first time a truly global movement for a culture of peace. At the same time, however, the media is sometimes misused to create and disseminate enemy images, violence and even genocide against other ethnic and national groups, and to portray and glorify violence in many forms. Also secrecy is on the increase, justified in terms of 'national security' and 'economic competitiveness', whereas in fact more transparency is needed in governance and economic decision-making. Therefore, actions are proposed in support of this aim which realize the positive potential of the media to provide essential information and to promote, via participatory communication, the values, attitudes and behaviours of a culture of peace."

I ask that you cease editing my post, as I do not support Scientology. I am not against the religious beliefs of Scientology, but the corporate aspects of your Church.
