[Brad]

Life is a bitch, his dark companion said - and then you die. Not so! Cried Henry. Life is a glorious, shining and splendid adventure; and then you die. Furthermore (there's always that), Henry felt that by contributing nothing to the Gross National Product he was thereby subtracting even less from what was left of the Net National Heritage. He himself would carry out a private one-man revolution in the belly of the beast. Freedom begins between the ears. The Good Life starts where servitude ends. In a nation of sheep, one brave man is a majority.
