True enough, but like I said it is a matter of degree. How much would depend
on how strongly you feel versus your fear of what the tribe might do to you. I
think the drug issue is a perfect case in point. People have been fired from
their jobs or put in prison for their views on drug use. Many would argue this
is exactly what happened to Timothy Leary - 37 years for a pot seed that he
claims was planted in his car. And that was back when there was no "War on
Drugs". BTW, would your decision not to write 'extravagantly' about
psychedelic drugs stem from your fear of the tribe or a change of view on the
drugs themselves?
