Where Did L. Ron Hubbard Learn Abuse

Notwithstanding this century'south assortment of technological wonders—in medicine, transportation, nuclear energy and electronic communications—nosotros live in a seriously troubled society. Under the triple onslaught of drug abuse, misdeed and declining morals much of this world has truly become a wasteland. By some estimates, marijuana, for example, has get the largest greenbacks crop in America, while illegal drugs gross estimated almanac revenues of some $500 billion. Added to these figures are another $700-plus billion spent on medical and psychiatric drugs—until, at last, we are faced with a crunch of truly planetary proportions wherein the people of Globe spend more than coin on drugs than most nations produce in terms of goods and services.

Nevertheless sick-gotten acquirement is but one measure of today'southward drug corruption price. The link with crime is another. According to U.s.a. Justice Department studies, half of all those arrested for violent crimes examination positive for illegal drugs, which in turn translates into well over a million acts of violence a year…and the cost of that in terms of human misery is incalculable.

At the arguable lesser of both drug abuse and criminality lies what has been termed "a postmodern moral crisis." Hither, too, the facts are disturbing: More than than 40 percent of all marriages end in divorce; another 40 per centum of all American youth readily admit they prevarication for financial proceeds, and yet some other 64 per centum admit to adulterous on exams. The picture grows grimmer still in low-cal of cyberspace iniquity. To wit: at least ten percent of all websites authorize as pornographic while some xl percent of all business software is pirated. Information technology is not surprising, then, that equally rates of burglary, embezzlement and all other varieties of larceny assume epidemic proportions, historians take come to view this era equally an age of moral inequity unrivaled since the fall of Rome.

Sensing where this earth was headed equally early as 1950, L. Ron Hubbard began to search out a means by which, as he wrote:

"Human again can find his ain feet, tin can detect himself in a very confused, mechanistic society and tin recover to himself some of the happiness, some of the sincerity and some of the beloved and kindness with which he was created."

Thus comes his humanitarian technologies to reclaim homo decency and thus all you lot will detect in pages to follow.
