Kathyann,
   
  Sorry you missed the real part, I mean the part between Leary and
  the Media.

  I know when I'm beat.

Not Greg but can't resist this one. The first references of "make love 
not war", at least in my bioregions, was reference to seeking higher 
states (of Leary's states of consciousness.) Using love to transcend. A 
force or gateway not an act.

The study, for some, was of the temple arts of ancients. Media then 
grabbed it as a way to sell aphrodisiacs for those willing to buy 
shortcuts. Puritans didn't pollute near as much as commercialism.

Peace,
Kathyann
