L. Ron Hubbard - a hubbard?




















A thought just occurred to me. In my family the word 'hubbard' has been assigned to fill the vocabulary void to refer to a person who intervenes in a situation with the intention to help someone, when in fact help isn't needed and often that action will make a situation worse. I can't help but feel like L. Ron's (Elrond?) attempts to improve the condition of the human spirit (or Thetan), is his way of living up to his namesake. "We don't need your help, you hubbard! I was doing much better before - when I had more money!"

Note: You can also use this word as a verb, e.g. "please stop hubbarding!" or "I hope you don't mind but I hubbarded your phone over there".
