So true. The reckoning,as I like to call it, can be extremely disturbing for a while.

I do agree that he did want to start a revolution. It's his motives I am leary of.

LOL, I made a pun. :tongue:

You also might want to consider the possibility that many of the tragedies surrounding his life might have had something to do with the fact that he was persecuted for much of it.

Good point. But it sounds like his children were really fucked up. Bad.

The fact that his son would not talk to him for nearly 20 years suggests it was something personal.

His daughter killed someone and then herslf. His wife killed herself.Sounds like family problems to me.

But, I don't really know ,now do I?

Sirreal, who are you to decide what people should do with their lives and what should more important? You may think the most important thing is to look after your family but that doesn't make it true.

You are right. Nothing is important. There are no standards we as a society and as human beings should have.Fuck our society, fuck lawfulness and fuck it all!


If you have children You have taken on the responsibility. Give them away to someone who will do the job if you would rather spend your life pleasuring yourself!

Expand your idea of what a family is, and you'll see that he did a world of good for his extended human family. Say he had four children (I don't know the exact number). What's the life of four people compared to millions upon millions of people?

I am done with this as well. Believe whatever nonsense you want.You can't stand losing an arguement, That is why "you're done". I was having fun.

I read the whole thread BTW. You are the one who wasn't absorbing.


Also ,if the word hell bothers you so much, Maybe you should go join one of those puritan boards.

the article palpably emphasizes the homosexuality of a few of leary's associates, as if being gay is bad. it's fundamentalist intolerance... they're trying to smear leary by exposing his collegues for their 'sinful' sexual orientation. it's absurd.

a rather unmistakable display of fundamentalist closed-mindedness, it calls the religious traditions of the east "occultic". sheesh.

it smears aldous huxley, portraying him as some kind of drug fiend who wasted his life away getting stoned, when he was in fact a rare example of a true intellectual and real genius.

it makes unfounded assumptions about leary's family life.

there is of course the familiar baptist underlying suspicion and disapproval of pleasures of any sort...

.... and it ends with some sorry, snide, baptist preaching.

the article's so slanted my neck hurt when i got done reading it. it was kindof funny though.... but i do feel sorry for such closed-minded, delusional people. they're usually not very happy.

I think Timothy Leary would find that pretty funny.

If that was your father, you would have either commited suicide or you would not have been talking to him. :blush:


This post was a reference to his family situation. I do not really know what you would have done had you been his child. :tongue:

What are you talking about?
There'd be no suicide. And how would you know how I'd react in any situation?
