Shelve your bibles, books of mormon, korans, dianetics, bhagavad gitas, torahs, and tao te chings. I have finally founda rational book of wisdom for the armed, responsible and thoughtful man.

The prophet Heinlein, peace be upon him,through his avatar Lazarus Long has shown me the way.

-Always store beer in a dark place

-Place your clothes and weaponswhere you can find them in the dark

-Any priest or shaman must be presumed guilty until proved innocent

-Never underestimate human stupidity

-Never try to out stuborn a cat

-A human being should be able to change a daiper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

-If the universe has any purpose more important than topping a woman you love and making a baby with her hearty help, I've never heard of it.

-Rub her feet

-Little girls, like butterfliesneed no excuse

-One man's theology is another man's belly laugh

These thoughts and many more can be yours for just a small $love$ gift. I swear by my pretty floral bonnet that from this day forth I will never be without a copy of this good book and the words within it. All praise "The Notebooks of Lazarus Long"!

So say me all.

And there you go ruining it.:(

This goes for me too. At least donating to the publican gets us strong drink in return.:)

Perhaps the only path to 'bliss' for us that reject haplessness. I am fortunate that my Mayor and political guru is also my favorite publican.

Is no one else fascinated by the change in meaning of 'publican' caused by the addition of the prefix 're'? Re-publican

When you visit I will be pleased to host and hoist with you to the memory of Robert Anson Heinlein.

'My' Island is the single largest consumer of Angostura Bitters in the world by orders of magnitude. Strong drink is good for you!
