Some of the members I know by name from the old DIY days in San Francisco, others remain shrouded in mystery. There's some talk that Hunter Thompson, before he died, was a member of the ULA in some minor capacity, but this is not likely. While I enjoy reading about their antics and, like you, agree with a good deal of their manifesto, their own collected works tend to be too hokey to truly enjoy. Moreover, reading about them in other people's blogs also cuts into my precious writing time but it's as damn additive as a drug.
