Paul Morantz(1945-2022)

Was nearly killed in October 1978, when members of the Synanon cult placed a four foot rattlesnake in his home's mailbox as retribution for winning a legal case against them on behalf of one of their former member's family. The snake's rattle was removed, preventing it from warning him it was inside the mailbox.

Whether we worship single or multiple deities, Mother Nature or the Church of the Divine Meatloaf, our populace seems hard-wired to believe in some greater force. When groups use the power of peer pressure and brainwashing to control people and make them surrender their autonomy, their money or their moral compass, I feel compelled to step in.
