Politics and Religion
...but that doesn't mean that we still don't have a long way to go. Believe it or not, there's still people in Africa who believe in witchcraft. Sadly, if you ask people like Pat Robertson, there's people in the USA who still believe in it too.
But there is a certain attitude I've noticed that some people will feel free to criticize organized religion, and that criticism will give more credence to their own "spirituality".
I suppose it's better to belong to an unorganized religion than an organized one, but ultimately, it's still believing in nonsense.
It seems to me that the best way to free your mind from it's chains is to throw off all the nonsense. Horoscopes is just as nonsensical as Christianity. Dousing rods can't really find water. And a broken mirror won't give you 7 years bad luck.
It is better to accept reality on reality's terms. And if that doesn't work, you can always repack the bong. 
I would love to pack a bowl with you sometime, put down our ego's and talk quantum physics. I think you may have enough science in your brain for your brain to contain it all.

Hey Madison. I'd love to do that, too. I don't get the chance to travel often, but if you ever decide to do a little east coast touring, let me know.
and have a beautiful niece there I would love to share some hashish and talk.
