From our point of view, no group was as "off" in their judgment of others as was CAN. No group was as out of place in their condemnation of the innocent as was CAN. They accused our group of "cult activities" promoting all sort of lies about us. When we asked to speak with them to correct some of their false accusations, they refused to listen. Their only desire was to see our financial records and ironically, we really have no finances to speak of at all. They exerted no effort to determine the facts even when those who could most accurately provide those facts were literally at their doorstep. We hope you will continue to advertise on behalf of freedom of thinking for all. History proves that nearly every conceptual milestone now considered "good" was at one time considered a "cult." In the early/inception stages of any significantly updated thinking, it seems that some embodiment of narrow- minded opposition takes it upon themselves to threaten its right to exist. So thanks again from all of us determined to continue the search for Truth through alternate paths. And thanks from those who support the right of others to do so as well.
