I had enjoyed L.Ron Hubbards science fiction for years before the day I saw his book: "Dianetics" in a crusty old used book shop. After taking a minute to examine the book I was convinced it was total crap (thank G-d for drugs), as seen on SouthPark. In actuality, the book was Hubbards way to make a buck, after spending years writing science fiction and fantasy and not making the money he had hoped for, he hit upon a new way; create your own religion. This is L. Ron’s great grandkid telling the truth about the entire event,
