Dr. Timothy Leary on VH1 Aug 13th!

From the moment Harvard professor Timothy Leary ate magic mushrooms in 1960, his life would never be the same. Advocating the use of LSD and other mind altering drugs to expand consciousness, Leary transformed himself from an eccentric Harvard professor into the leader of the 1960s psychedelic counter-culture movement. Leary's influence helped shape the music, fashion and politics of a new generation. He defied authority and fought the government at every turn, earning the title, in President Nixon's words, as "the most dangerous man in America."

Narcissa, you are a complete fucking asshole small minded fool. Not trusting people over 40 (actually i think it was 30) was not meant to mean once you get that age your all done. It meant all the new ideas and attitudes were generally only adopted by the young. At the time people over 30/40 were already set in there ways and saw all these new wild ways as crazy. Kind of how you are acting. The Hippy way of life and the sixties changed the world in more ways than your small pathetic brain can understand.

Actually Leary was at the forefront of personal computer use. He wrote a book about it, and go to matrixmasters to hear a podcast by him in 1987 talking about the glories of the coming cyber age.
Narcissa wishes she could get that sweet ford job.

yeah too bad that iphone was invented, now we have to see random rants from bored assholes like you.

narcissa, it sounds like you belong on an assembly line at ford instead of on the front lines of knowledge and thinking in the new world

P.S. My apologies for some of the typos, but it's kind of hard to proofread when one is typing from their iPhone-you know, the product of those wicked capitalist corporations produced for the materialism Mr. Leary and his addle-brained cavalcade of losers lectured people to reject.

I am so sick of these baby boomers and their stupid generational identity. I watched the documentary and I don't think I have ever been so embarrassed for a group of people in my life.

What a bunch of fucking losers. Did they see themselves
and how ridiculous they looked? And what's up with this shit about people over 40 or whatever? Umm, excuse me, but if these people are so goddamn clever and smarter than everyone else, shouldn't it have dawned on them that someday, THEY'D be 40? The ones that actually lived to see 2009 are so freakin' haggard looking as to be a cautionary tale, if anything. Yeah, way to go, LSD!

But I guess when you're a babyBoomer, part of the most worthless generation, as opposed to the Greatest Generation before you, that fought a world war and busted their asses, do you would have nothing to worry about than "following your bliss", this is the self-congratulatory, narcissistic shit the rest of us responsible people have to put up with.

Please. I am sick of paying for you stupid war on poverty and great society. Do us all a favor: realize what irrelevant dinosaurs you have become and go " follow your bliss" into your graves, motherfuckers.

The rest of us are too busy cleaning up your mess.
