My contempt for Alan Watts and Siddhartha Gautama
Alan Watts had good ideas but led a chaotic dissolute life marked by bitter ex-wives and abandoned children and alcohol abuse.
Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, likewise abandoned his son to indulge personal gratification, and in consequence is at the top of my shit list.

[Comment by user: "The US has a long and proud tradition of shooting its politicians, up to and including Congresswoman Giffords."]
Long tradition but I would not call it proud, that’s a very slim piece of pie.
Most people are appalled by killing, that’s majority human nature to my thinking. Only a few really groove on it, and we try to keep them in prisons or armies.
