“This was how a manang self-destructed, probably. Not with drugs or alcohol, but cholesterol.”

“Alcohol is used by millions of people, both men and women, and I will make no friends by taking the position that alcohol culture is not politically correct. Yet how can we explain the legal toleration for alcohol, the most destructive of all intoxicants, and the almost frenzied efforts to repress nearly all other drugs? Could it not be that we are willing to pay the terrible toll that alcohol extracts because it is allowing us to continue the repressive dominator style that keeps us all infantile and irresponsible participants in a dominator world characterized by the marketing of ungratified sexual fantasy?”

“Herb is the healing of a nation, alcohol is the destruction.”

“Exercise is for people who can't handle drugs or alcohol.”
