Yeah that last one was just kind of random thought...

How about the war on terrorism, the war in iraq, and 9-11.

Quite possibly the biggest scams in the modern world.

as opposed to homeopathic.
yeah, you know.... the industry that doesn't really want us to know cures and causes of cancer and most other diseases and is mainly focused on alleviating symptoms with toxic drugs and radiation rather than treating root causes.

with that i must say that most doctors are generally good people, just vastly misdirected.

Ah, right.
Yeah, that's one of the big ones.
and yeah technically it's not the doctors fault.. they pay big money to be taught what to think.
I blame the pharamaceutical corporations.

I don't see the scam in that.

Acid doesn't give you truths; it builds machines that push the envelope of perception. Whatever revelations came to me then have dissolved like skywriting. All I really know is that those few years saddled me with a faith in the redemptive potential of the imagination which, however flat, stale and unprofitable the world seems to me now, I cannot for the life of me shake.
