George Bush has taken care of my retirement.

Since he is hell bent on starting WWIII and letting the nukes fly, I am no longer worried about my future. Not only that, but paying for my kids' college is no longer a concern, either.

I am cashing out my IRA and other investments, buying a sports car, and booking a cruise around the world. I will see you all in a few months.

5. my meager 401k's got vaporized in 2002, thanks to George.

once the funds go down to zero they aren't replenished if you've left the employer like I had. shoulda bailed in late 2001 & took the tax hit.

7. What if you're wrong?

My counselor keeps telling me NOT to do what you're doing.

And stranger things have happened before.

8. I wouldn't really do what I said...I have got to keep some hope for

the future!

A friend of my wife's was diagnosed with AIDS and told he had 2 years to live. He spent all of his money and ran up an enormous debt figuring he wouldn't be around to pay for it. That was ten years ago and he's still here!

9. Thank you much!!

There is hope for the future and while we all have fears, it's stupid to let fears control us.

Everything changes and even people twice my age say it.

So it's time for self-innovation, using one's strengths.

I think most people could reinvent themselves and survive.

Plus other factors we don't know about; problems we currently see are based mostly on perceptions or inferences of facts. What we don't know can hurt us; and who wants to suffer from ignorance?
