I just want to live in the middle of the desert in just a small home with lights and fresh water. That is all I want. At 49 I have enough of the urban political, social, and religious strife.

[amindra]

How fine! This great man was awarded the Nobel twice. Well deserved indeed.

[johnchambers]

So true and so precisely yet politely said

[j.dragon]

Most of us are terrified that are egos will cease to exist so we grasp at straws.
