I believe Leonard would say, "Hogwash!" There just isn't a cure for love. Men and women have been in this bind, this grind for thousands of years. They've fed me serotonin enriching drugs for 25 years - I still love her, more even. It is part of the tapestry of things, it's what makes things interesting, exciting, even painful. I reckon Leonard would say, "You can numb something, but you'll never kill it." Indeed, time very often just clarifies things. No scientist can measure or extrapolate this. None. Thank you 10newtours.

Peace now,

The joke will be on Science, like some-kinda' Zen koan, when scientists look through their electron microscopes only to see a microscopic Leonard Cohen singing the absolute truth as he knows it, "there ain't no cure for love". ;-)
