Self-responsibility, Reason, and Common Sense, the ultimate enemies of organized religion.

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise."
ALDOUS HUXLEY

I love that Aldous Huxley quote, it has always been one of my favorites. I love brave new world. I think it's funny that it has been associated with opiate use because in so many ways opiates do just what is described.I have always said that it is not the H that is bad in and of itself, it is the things it makes people do in the pursuit of it.
