    You can be anything you want to be

    That's what I hear all the time. Follow your dream. Some folks who came from average upbringings can be wonderful at something. Unless your just your average idiot. It takes talent and perseverance. Some luck. Maybe some money. Maybe some fame.
    6'2", 275lb. Bruce Jenner can be a gigantic cute girl if he wants to be. Your mutt can be a "service dog" with a $10 vest from PetSmart. 10,000 poor, dumb Hondurans are "asylum seekers" now. So, following your dream is good for you. And no one can't say no to you because they are "haters" and that's not nice. Well, there are haters. Some people just react poorly, but there should be some restrictions to prevent chaos.
    If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

            A typical nasty accusation. I don't think Lauren Bacall thought so.

            And both of your quotes are dumb and inaccurate:

            How can a generation not have a past and a future ?
            Maybe not a future if they kill themselves, but you can't delete the past.

            And life goes on only until it ends.

              Oh DT, think deeper than your hip pockets on this. Do you recall this line? Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Pretty much the same thing. As far as the second one, should you and I both die tomorrow, this board will still be here and the shenanigans with continue as the world still spins. ie: life goes on.

              Or...was that a pun that went over my head as I was thinking too deeply but not enough?

                Totally different
                1. Not remembering, therefore repeating history is different
                from DELETING past and future.
                2. "Life goes" on was a personal observation, not general.

                And yes you didn't have your thinking cap on.
