Considering all the media attention Scientology gets, it is a little frightening to realize how little we actually know about their workings. We find it amusing when powerful, but "crazy", celebrities are members but I don't find much amusing about the fact that some of the most powerful people on earth also belong to the church. I don't understand how Catholicism is recognized as anything other than a for-profit organization and the same goes for The Church of Scientology. They are very obviously in the business of making money and they need to have the same public accountability any other for-profit business does.

I took this shot while I was on my way to a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. I didn't know there was a rally going on but I felt I couldn't walk by without snapping a few photos.
