Imagine you are taking a slug of whiskey. a puff of a cigarette. A toke of marijuana. A snort of cocaine. A shot of heroin. Put aside whether these drugs are legal or illegal. Concentrate, for now, on the chemistry. The moment you take that slug, that puff, that toke, that snort, that shot, trillions of potent molecules surge through your bloodstream and into your brain. Once there, they set off a cascade of chemical and electrical events, a kind of neurological chain reaction that ricochets around the skull and rearranges the interior reality of the mind...
...people who shepherd our money--analysts, brokers, money managers--rarely say it's time to get out of stocks. That's not how they put caviar on the table.

"Great improvements of the age!" he wrote contemptuously. "Who wants to travel so fast? My grandfather did not, and he was no fool." Earlier in the 19th century, there were those who thought that traveling faster than 20 m.p.h. would cause insanity...
...know you think your mom sounds loony, but actually she has a point. The Power Rangers are pretty lame. But on the other hand, it sounds like they elicit a good deal of joy too, and we all know you shouldn't snort that. Read a book. Draw a picture. It's better...
