== Human Rights Advocacy ==
Unfortunately the article does not cover even a few percentage points of the human rights and civil rights advocacy that Mr. Henson engaged in toward the end of his world-renowned space pioneering advocacy "career," if one can call unpaid science insight advocacy a "career."


== L5 Society on Lead-In ==
Mr. Henson was heavily involved in human and civil rights from the 1960's right up until the late 2000's and provided technical assistance in isolating and punishing anti-freedom of speech crazies involved in the so-called "Sporgery" computer crimes. If I can find an on-line copy of the human rights award he won back in 1998, I believe it was, I'll add a section here covering the award. If anyone gets there before me, please do add it since that was an awesome feather in Mr. Henson's hat. ] (]) 06:13, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

Additional comments
While the text here bears strong resemblance to that at the external site, it seems to have been authored here. To begin with, the earliest archives of that site date to June 2008. This is not conclusive, as the material could have been moved at that time, but it combines with evidence of natural evolution. Let's evaluate the paragraph published at the external site: "Keith was known at the University of Arizona as one of the founders of the Druid Student Center, where a campus humor newspaper, The Frumious Bandersnatch was published in the late 1960s. He later cited an incident that occurred in his student days as a good example of memetic replication. When asked to fill in a form that required him to disclose his religious affiliations he wrote “Druid”. His prank was soon noticed by other students and before long almost 20% of the student body had registered themselves as Reform Druids, Orthodox Druids, Members of the Church of the nth Druid, Zen Druids, Latter-Day Druids, and so on. The university was forced to remove the religious affiliation question, breaking the chain of replication and variation." We see this beginning to enter the article piecemeal as early as September 2005, when this content is added: "Henson was known at the U of A as one of the founders of the Druid Student Center, from which The Frumious Bandersnatch a campus humor newspaper was published in the late 60s. (The Druids were also known for making UFOs, .)" Two months later, it was edited to more closely resemble what we have now, by another user, but none of the rest of that paragraph was then in existence. It was added years later in February 2007 by a third (now retired) contributor. Add to that a final piece of evidence - that the underlined text at that website links to Misplaced Pages, and we have good reason to believe that they are infringing on Misplaced Pages's contributors rather than the other way around. --Moonriddengirl 12:30, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
