...But hadn't you better base it on something a bit more substantial than pressing your eyeballs and seeing phosphemes, plus getting off on the general yahoo surrounding M at festivals?

Well, as a matter of fact I do base it on something more substantial than whatever it is you used to get off on. And I don't press my eyeballs.

One thing above all others gives me hope for this planet, and that is seeing people with the courage to face reality squarely. These are the people who will bring real solutions to real problems.

I hope you are not implying ex-premies are somehow bringing "real solutions to real problems". If you are, may I suggest that you look for something a little more substantial than what you're basing your hope on.
