“Dying well is part of living well and one day our society will surely recognize that. But I suppose we'll only know that we've reached that promised land on the day that the President of the Voluntary Euthanasia Society begins his address to the Annual General Meeting with the words: 'Tremendous news for the society. It's been our most successful year ever.

“The good news about fresh water is that, even after accounting for the larger volume of water that is unavailable to people from the hydrologic cycle, there is enough on a global scale to support current and anticipated populations on a sustainable basis...

“[T]he Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar Left, and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black.

Of course we did.” PeopleKnowsTwoWarHomeLyingNightCoursesHouseLeftBlackCommunityWhiteLeaderEnemyBreakDrugNewsMeetingsCampaignsEveningIllegalWhite HouseBlack PeopleAntiwarMarijuanaAssociatesHippieHeroinVilify Author:John Ehrlichman
