>SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A former Scientologist who received $8.7 million 
from the church this week 22 years after first suing it for mental abuse 
hailed the settlement on Saturday as a victory that could unleash a flurry of 
similar lawsuits. 

  Hey, Keith was mentally tortured by Scientologists. Maybe he can get a few 
million.
  I like Keith's use of Minsky's "Society of Mind" explanation for why people 
don't sign up for Cryonics. I'm going to add it to my roster of mental 
agents. Of course, I suppose I should sign up first... and move to 
Scottsdale... and pay a staff of armed guards to keep my relatives away so 
that I would get frozen instead of autopsied and buried.... Hmmm. Perhaps the 
problem is that cryonic suspension is a lot of work, and people use mental 
agents to avoid work. That would look good on a tombstone: "he avoided work, 
even when it killed him." -Bill
