I suppose you think they're "on our side". To the contrary. I despise the CIA and all it stands for. I am well aware that the CIA has done experiments with LSD on unwilling, or at least unknowledgable, subjects. The recent "Bishop" Heidnik travesty demonstrates that this is quite a documented occurence. If being dosed with LSD by the CIA is an admissible defense in a court of law, it's at least a valid claim, if not documented truth. However, the CIA/LSD conspiracy is also one many raving bull-loonies assert as well. By invoking this little bit of history, I call into question his sanity. The fact that the CIA/LSD connection is truth does not alter the fact that many loonies like mentioning it. My insult is valid, and does not NECESARRILY call into question the validity of the claim (concerning the CIA and LSD), nor does it in any way imply approval of the CIA. If you've read any of my previous postings, you would have found that I am opposed to any form of tyranny. The CIA undoubtedly qualifies as tyranny, and therefore I am opposed to it. > >>They probably did. That's why you're such a brain-damaged moron now. > >Since when does LSD cause brain damage? "Just say 'no', kids, or you'll >end up a brain-damaged moron who believes the earth is flat!" The 'brain-damaged moron' bit was obviously meant to be hyperbolic. In no way could it be asserted that I meant it to be taken as truth, or for it to be taken that I believed it to be truth. However, LSD has caused insanity (view the "Bishop" Heidnik), and while I am not opposed to its use, I admit it has hazards. In chastising Mr. Jolly in the strongest possible terms, I had a threefold motive: A) to show my displeasure at what I believe to be drooling idiocy of the most malignant sort; B) to amuse and delight the singular man of reason who also views 'platygean science' as deserving of buffooning; and C) to remove anger from me which might otherwise have spilled upon less deserving targets. I still believe that platygeanists are not personally stupid, but possessed of an incredibly stupid belief. Stupid beliefs must be eliminated from the mind of humanity, as they thwart progress and make human development retrograde. I'll do my part in the elimination of stupidity by making it apparent as such. > >vonn ------- cok%psuvma@psuvax1.bitnet "I'd love to, m'lad, but this fine Havana cok%psuvma.bitnet@psuvax1.uucp magic wand is a bit too short to grant cok%psuvma@psuvax1.psu.edu wishes with."
