but more of a--> 'at-a-glance-perusal-of-yer-stuff'.
I dunno, I go to the bookstore and just browse for hours before picking a book.
Not sure if that drives the book people batty or not. Drives my wife crazy, though.
Anyways, I don't regret 'tripping' either. Funny that alcohol, which just slaughters brain cells, gives you energy and makes you think you're invincible (while operating at severely diminished intellectual capacity) is 100% legal. Yet, these other things are Schedule A or whatever, highly illegal.
On the one hand, they're powerful mind altering substances, perhaps meant to be underground and not let loose on the 'commoners', the great unwashed minions, the multitude, plebeians, the plebs, rank and file, riff-raff, the common people, the herd, the many, the proletariat, the proles, the peons. Etc. Then again...maybe that's exactly who needs it?
Hmm...an old argument. Still unsettled.
What impact did legal LSD, and it's widespread use via Leary etc, have on the 60's cultural revolution? And it's blowback...?
At any rate, we live in pretty backwards times, and if I say anything to my kids, it'll be that 4-5 years in prison isn't worth the experience, to me. There certainly are risks aplenty with that 'dark path'.
Anyways, post something would ya,
I'm curious what you got in yr stacks.
