	Read Alan Watts's books if you can find them or afford the prices at the
foundation setup apparently to minimize exposure to his ideas.
	I was lucky because i got to listen to his lectures on the radio here in
San Francisco back in the 1960s and maybe into the 1970s. I got to buy
his books in paperback at a reasonable price.

	The time was different then when i wa in my late 20s and early 30s.
Mainly because I was younger and more foolish then but very resilient.
