Good, drinking alchol is bad for you anyways.

You certainly don't want to be killing any brain cells. 😉

It's "alcohol", and I meant it wasn't on the restricted items list; in fact I'm enjoying a Pimms and lemonade with a sprig of home-grown mint right now, which is why I'm being so amiable.

Or course it is "alcohol", didn't you see my edit, or were you too quick to answer, sitting in anticipation of my reply?

So, are you one of those friendly drunks, or do you change as you drink more, & grow 10 feet tall?

Why was he kkkkkkk-illed (stutterered speech) in the end, and became visible as he died?

Was it in his 'moderation' of becoming psychotic, and wanting to kill everybody, because he couldn't handle being invisible?

That must be a chore to be INVISIBLE! 😀

Wells simply borrowed from Plato's Republic. Point of the entertaining story is that honesty, virtue

and integrity disappear (and the human race self destructs) whenever moral sanction is removed.

And a step further from that integrity disappearing is Hans C. Andersen's "The Shadow", in which the narrator's shadow breaks away from him, as the darker side of his inner-self. The shadow makes huge money from blackmail and endears to the general public, that which accepts his misdemeanour to the point where he marries a princess who sees only the good, of the darker side, that the shadow portrays. The shadow eventually kills its previous master and wins the tale, because the narrator just can't accept anything but the beautiful side of life.

Interesting read! 😉
