<p>

<p>
"There is no attempt to teach, preach, educate, put over a message, improve the mind or moralize. Nor is it my intention to demoralize, destroy, debunk, or exert any influence, good, bad, or indifferent, on any class, creed, race or religion. In this book no opinions are expressed and none oppossed. In fact should anyone ask why I bothered to write the damn thing, I shall admit that I have no excuse for doing so." (from the foreword)
