I don't believe in the majority of what LaRouche says, especially his nazi-like flaming and his unfounded distaste for Kissinger and Great Britain. The extent of my agreement (as if anyone reading this cares) is that drug abuse and mutually-assured survival are issues that need to be dealt with, although I really disagree with his hellfireandbrimstone rationalizations and with his methods; I prefer education and cooperation to blind legislation and suspicion. His newspaper basically provides a good laugh for all of us when they drop it off every month in the lobby here. I also read paraphernalia from the Ayn Rand-ites and born-agains. I haven't seen Falwellites here yet, but they should be even more amusing. And just to show that I'm balanced, I also work with the film group here that shows X-rated movies twice a year (we also show 170-180 non-X-rated ones, too). Mark
