This seems a little harsh...
Well, I'm all for growing, but do you think that if you were listening
to him tell all about microchips in your brain that're gonna allow you
to "telepathically" communicate to people with similar chips that you 
would believe that *he* actually believes it? (sorry, long sentence,
I hope you see my point)  To me, there *does* come a time where you sort
of have to take a stand on things.  Next year Leary'll probably say that 
microchips in the brain is a bunch of shit (which it is). I don't desire
"heroes or some such bullshit" buddy, I don't know how you extracted that
from my post...
Like I said, I admire the guy too; 'cause he's "seen" some shit (I believe)
that I'll never experience.  I suppose all the "open-minded" people out there 
would like no one to ever have an opinion (a sign of close-mindedness) and 
to accept all viewpoints on a topic (to deny that one view might be wrong or
inappropriate would be close-minded). Sorry, you can flame me for that, I
am getting a little carried away...or maybe I wasn't...or maybe I was...no,
I definitely wasn't...yes, I was...Acceptance
