Reformed LSD guru Timothy Leary is urging everyone to raise a little rabble. Leary spoke this week at Fresno State University despite the protests of several faculty members. "I am deeply sympathetic with these people who were concerned when they saw that my lecture was entitled `Think for Yourself: Question Authority,"' Leary said of the dissenters. "Their concern is typical of Americans over 50 because the world changes too fast for their comfort." Leary, who now makes a living with a computer software company and speaking tours, doesn't promote drug use any more but says people shouldn't be too trusting and docile. "Don't just assume that those running America have all the answers," he said. "Force them to expand their brains by questioning their motives and intentions. Not only is it fun to question authority, it keeps the establishment honest."
