Maybe it's more than fun. I don't know. What I'm saying, and all I'm saying, is that it's enough for me if it is merely entertaining. Life is short, and I expect to be dead a long time (like forever)- so "fun" for me is a quasi-religious concept. When I think of all the people who have been, and who are no more, and how hard most of their lives were, I think it would be akin to a sacrilege not to appreciate and enjoy my own life, since I have the chance to. Pleasure, imo, is one of the things that keeps people from the screaming edge. If more people had more pleasure in their lives, if they were happier, and more fulfilled, I don't see what they'd have to scream about. Peace through happiness :-) That's what I'm talking about. And yes, I've heard to the atomic clock. I hadn't looked at it in a while- it doesn't seem to have moved since 2002: en.wikipedia.org

In the past Russia and China have joined forces at times to counter the USA politically in the world. They are doing it again as the USA tries to control the world through political means, financial means and even military means. It's easy to see that Russia/China would see the world without the USA as a great place. What do they lose by seeing the end of the USA? An end to being bullied? An end to the gobbling up of the world's oil supplies? An end to being forced to comply to a world banking system that's run by greedy bankers on Wall Street! Doomsday could be closer than we think. One bright sunny day out of the blue we could see sunlight reflecting off the smooth metal of thousands of Russian and Chinese missiles. Surprise.
