It comes and goes. LOL <Are you a successful person? Financially successful? > When it come to this market, i am dumb as a stone ! ( yet managed to pull out 75pts on pure speculation plays last week....on new issues SPWX/CORV/AVCI) Successful? Yes , i think so ....i could go and live in India very luxiuriously for the next 1000yrs without ever working again......;-) (or maybe ten years luxiouriosly in SanFrancisco, on a small houseboat!) <Happily married> Still searching , feel drawn to that institution.....still time yet...think i could raise some very curiosity filled ,open, energetic, tolerant outgoing kids....good lover too. <However, reading between the lines I wonder if you are really enjoying this life. > Going back up to your first question "are you happy", seems a question to be asked of anyone in this society . In reading between your lines and questions do see lightly revealed your belief in the only happiness is a "christian happiness" , and I had better get with the program of concerning myself with an afterlife, "before it's too late"? So a vote for Bush is a vote for a happy afterlife? LOL! No I do love my Christian brothers , yet do belie having to admonish myself regularly for not having enough patience with their too oft times patented shallowness and divine right theories. We are not electing presidents here in america , based on religious affiliations hopefully (i pray!)....or candidates who , when elected constitute a the formation of family dynasty of American Rulers as well. But anything is possible , when you have "GOD" on your side <g> And as far as after-lifes go , I have no real understanding how it enters into a discussion here on the G-Bush thread , but i appreciate the philsohic/ faith bound concern for my soul. I was created so....guess i am right where i am supposed to be for now , earning what i am learning , so therefore not "dead" on the vine. ;-) Funny , when you think of the word "dynasty" and the G~ Bushes---->Oil money , christianity, Baseball teams....hell might as well throw in the apple-pie. (yes happy and content enough to live forever , LOL) And You? cheers, mars PS: that was a pretty good speech somebody wrote for Junior G at the convention....now lets see how his legs hold up in live debate...yet i truely wish him the best in his quest to be the pres.. :-) m~
