   Oooohhhh. Going to disagree with you on that one.   
      
   I'm intimately and exquisitely familiar with loneliness, isolation,   
   failure and pain. A little security blanket action is nice once in a   
   while... just not in a supernatural form. It's incredible what a   
   decent meal and a bicycle ride can do for one's mood... and when the   
   mood is long-lasting, one has to sometimes resort to more drastic   
   measures.   
      
   I like my security blankets, thanks very much.
