LA REVUE GAUCHE - Left Analysis And Comment

"No man can emancipate himself, except by emancipating with him all the men around him. My liberty is the liberty of everyone, for I am not truly free, free not only in thought but in deed, except when my liberty and my rights find their confirmation, their sanction, in the liberty and the rights of all men, my equals.-BAKUNIN.

Albert Hoffman RIP

The image “http://nepenthes.lycaeum.org/People/Images/hofmann.jpg” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors.

Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann, who in 1943 accidentally discovered the hallucinogenic effects of Lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), has died at the age of 102, Reuters reports.


102 years old...proving that old adage; 'Better Living Through Chemistry'. Good night Dr. Hoffman you have enriched all our lives.
