Reuben again: But that's what was so ironic about it. We're too fragile and fleeting for our own good! Our bodies couldn't possibly last long enough to sort it all out. Our impending demise keeps us from achieving (not in all cases, of course, but generally speaking...)what we have the ability to achieve. I thought it was a cool idea... Reuben
