I think Terry McGovern, daughter of Democractic Presidential Nominee and Senator George McGovern, said it best. Terry was brought into the ED of her local hospital for alcohol poisoining for the umpteenth time and an orderly asked her why she did it--kept on drinking in the face of irrefutable proof that she needed to quit to save her own life, and Terry said, "I don't know."

"Shall I give you a kiss?" Peter asked and, jerking an acorn button off his coat, solemnly presented it to her.
