You bet, and on screwing up people's lives too.

Anything to make a buck, why not a book as well??

Yeah, I always wanted to meet my future self, defined by a binary stucture
put together by a man who messed up a great deal of people by advocating
they use such fantasticly healthy things like LSD-25.

Good choice, if I had been here at school the night he was here to promote
himself, I think I would have at least burned some of his books, just
to make him mad, then I would have asked him to pay my cousin's rehab bill
for the time he spent recovering from drug experimentation.
(yes this was due to the environment that T.L. helped create in the '60's)

Oh but you can't really tell adults what to do and what not to do, so Tim
is off the hook right?
