CCHR is one of the Scientology cult's more obnoxious front organizations; they're basically a hate group targeting the mental health professions. See www.cchr.org for examples of their lurid propaganda. They grabbed wfmh.net in an attempt to poach surfers looking for the World Federation for Mental Health (wfmh.org). Now there's a chance for payback: ScientologyWatch.org reports that the domain cchr.ca is presently unclaimed! Who will be the lucky purchaser of this domain? We'll have to wait and see! http://tinyurl.com/785m -- Dave Touretzky ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
