it's hard to get an objective standpoint on a figure like crowley because we live in a society where the culture and counter-culture have more or less collided and merged into a big grey blob, and its hard to remember that at one point being against the mainstream currents meant placing yourself well on the outside and facing the disdain of an entire culture so if he sometimes goes too far can you really blame him?? i probably would have done the same in his position.
