A Life Remembered

• We're all the same
• Freedoms
   
• Deceptions

  The BOTTOM LINE in all deceptions: someone wants you to believe an untruth for THEIR benefit (usually $$) at YOUR cost ($$, time, or health).

  Examples of common deceptions:
  
  

  1. low-alcohol beer is "safe", safe for recovering alcoholics, safe for teenagers, etc.
  2. "one or 2 drinks a day is GOOD for your health"
  3. smoking is cool/sophisticated
  4. "you deserve a break today"
  5. I can drink (eat, smoke, gamble, etc) in moderation even though I personally recognize signs of addiction or potential addiction.
