nope nobody knows for sure, although some people seem pretty sure of their position.


perhaps it's just lights out, but I don't think so and certainly hope not.


but I will tell you this, leadership is important, very important, often underrated.


I'm a lot more comfortable being led by someone that no matter how smart they actually are, that they believe in a higher power or purpose than themselves.

one of the great hallmarks of a good leader, again imo, is not only confidence but a certain amount of humility.


that's just my experience of kicking around the planet for 50 some odd years.

and while I'm very aware of the major transgressions of those that say they believe in a higher power and use that to dupe others for their own personal gain

I've often found some of the best of the best are men of a deep and abiding faith.


YMMV and it's okay, I believe also we're each meant to find our own path to happiness and truth.


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.
