Well:

#1 I'm 60 now, and what's that mean? I dodged a major bullet and am a bit past the 6 percent survival rate for stage IV cancer. Now, every day, I cross off a day, but like you I don't know how many are left.

#2 American. OK. Big Country. Big Politics. Big revisionism.

I didn't really follow the thread, and didn't see it, but in my experience nothing trumps you guys 'shooting' at each other. Really. Predicable. Not fascinating. Just it happens.

And when you just ducked the big bullet, and were 10 minutes from the end, the perspective changes.

So I sit, (I have trouble walking the chemo killed my long nerves, read legs, arms etc. And my hearing.) but I stand in awe of the meltdown. I really find it hard to believe that sub prime mortgages sold to other countries downed the world's economies. I guess in the end we are all dumb.

Now, listen to Frank and My Way, and Fly me too the Moon.

And who the heck is JC who thinks he is the historic guy. I'd rather be Klinger from Mash, or Papageno, I'm not sure witch. (Sp. on porpoise, go fish)

Video allegedly slew the star of the radio. I hear it in a song.

The last I looked the US was under us. So it may be. We have the hydrocarbons. And we can frack.
