Cigarettes fascinate me.
This may seem a strange thing to say, and don’t misinterpret it for me being a fan of smoking. I think it a pretty unpleasant habit, mostly on account of the way it colors and odorizes things. But still many facets of the idea of smoking fascinate me.

I feel compelled to preface my remarks with the following: It would be downright Pecksniffian for Ani to teach the next generation how to hate — and whom to hate. One of the first facts we should face is that if the past is any indication of the future, he will once again attempt to [...]
