Wine and a straitjacket. That pretty much sums it up.

Nature has endowed us with some measure of insanity to cope with the realities of daily life

The law, and society, and religion all said it was impossible to be sane, healthy, and kill yourself. Perhaps those authorities feared that the suicide__ reasoning might impugn the nature and value of life as organised by thePage | 49 .state which paid the coroner? And then, since you had been declared temporarily mad, your reasons for killing yourself were also assumed to be mad.

The Buggers have finally, finally learned that we humans value each and every individual human life. We don__ throw our forces away because every soldier is the queen of a one-member hive. But they__e learned this lesson just in time for it to be hopelessly wrong- for we humans do, when the cause is sufficient, spend our own lives. We throw ourselves onto the grenade to save our buddies in the foxhole. We rise out of the trenches and charge the entrenched enemy and die like maggots under a blowtorch.
