Then again, neither is anyone's. There are no "facts" in life. Nothing anyone here nor anywhere says is correct about "life". It's too abstract a concept and can not be quantified. No one even knows what "life" is. Not with the technology* we have at the moment anyway. But here's the thing. I know myself and my mind better than anyone in the world. So for me, my rules apply and no one else can tell me otherwise. To date, I have been the most accurate predictor to my future out of anyone I know. And I, and only I, will continue to be. > > I would guess many of us can recall our teenage/ twenties, when we=20 > thought the same as you, or at least along similar lines.

There are far too many variables to create a generalization. -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist --=20 http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist .
