About the only thing I can remember from what little I read of world history was a quote from some famous Roman leader. His words were "it seems strange to me that men should fear death, a necessary end, knowing that it will come when it will come." These guys were born to die; I was born to live forever with my Lord and God.
The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.
