B is for Beer

"The world is a wonderfully weird place, consensual reality is significantly flawed, no institution can be trusted, certainty is a mirage, security a delusion, and the tyranny of the dull mind forever threatens -- but our lives are not as limited as we think they are, all things are possible, laughter is holier than piety, freedom is sweeter than fame, and in the end it's love and love alone that really matters." --Tom Robbins

Commenting on his new children's book about to (this year) be published in the Fall as "B is for Beer", he described it as "an hallucinogenic hymn to beer, children, and the cosmic mysteries that sustain us all."

Check http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/books/317083_writer25.html for an excerpt from the story.

Reminds me of the quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin which goes "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." - though that could as easily have been Bob Marley, Aldous Huxley, Albert Hoffman, or even Terence McKenna talking about something else entirely.
