9. DING DING. You have struck the spike on its cranium.
Edited on Sat Dec-25-04 05:22 PM by karlrschneider
There has always been an end to empires. Ours is approaching its own demise...probably inevitable, but accelerated by the hegemonic crusaders "led" by GWB. I'm not sure if I'd want to know history as recorded in 2050 (certainly after my 'shift' on the 3rd planet) but it would be kinda neat to have some conscious absolution, as it were. I have no children, but I do grieve for what seems to be the futures of my nieces and nephews. Since I was 30 years old in 1972, up until 1/1/2000 I never expected to see the 'new millennium'...but there it went and now 4 years later I'm still around. How absurd. And I'm left with the old questions: why does 'stuff' exist, and what's the point of life? I do ponder those.
