 Impressive bio . Very interesting link .

 Maybe I'm such an ornery individualist because my mother had=
 most
 adequate breasts . But I think my parent's ( and grandparent's=
 )
 minds had more to do with it .

 And I'll admit to being greatly influenced by great thoughts
 starting with Pythagoras . I have a , by this time , automatic
 tendency to generalize from specifics , like our=
 criminialization
 for use of some plants , to the underlying pervasive principles=
 .

 I think government schools have done a bang up job in producing
 unanalytic automatons who believe in ceding their thoughts and
 choices and responsibilities to Big Brother .

 Yes they are great fodder for the centralized control by the
 political master class .


 By the way , did you know there's a scene in Chaplin's
 Modern Times where he's snorting up cocaine by the noseful ?
