“The identification with the common lot which is the essential idea of Democracy becomes the source and expression of social ethics.

“I don't really drink, but I've been around a lot of drinking and, at 18, when you start playing in bars, you start to witness the good, the bad and the ugly of alcohol as a source of escape.
