Introduction: Navigation tips and Font information.
"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intellingent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82)
From the page: "Most wine, beer, and liquor coolers have more alcohol than a beer or a glass of wine, more calories than a soda, and in some cases, nary a drop of real fruit juice. Yet the alcoholic beverage industry has created a slick marketing campaign designed to perpetuate "the cooler illusion." Their clever strategy has eight key elements."
From the page: "As even a cursory glance at previous generations would demonstrate, for better or for worse, no one will choose to give up life merely because their bodies are losing the powers and liberties without which they do not believe that they could live. Whether struck by aging or rendered paraplegic by a fall on the ice, they will grasp at the thread of life until their suffering is truly so wracking of body and soul that their will falters and they simply cannot go on. Fundamentally, we all want to live -- in youth and health if possible, in age and misery if necessary."
From the page: "You see, the thing about shock... is not that it upsets some people, I think; I think that it gives others a momentary joy of liberation, as we realised in that instant that the social rules that constrict our lives so terribly are not actually very important."
