2. It is good
but I still believe in Religion,

some people actually love others because that is what their God would have them do.

It sure has caused a lot of problems through the years, though.
Peace

5. John Lennon had it spot-on - about a whole lot.
He was a visionary. Man, do we ever still need him!!! When he died, I remember telling people not in my generation that it was the loss of the century - akin to the passing of a Picasso or a Warhol or a Gershwin or someone else of that caliber. Seems as though it's the loss of not just the 20th, but also now the 21st century too.

DAMN but we could use his perspective, his mirth, his wisdom, his activism against war and injustice, and his great sense of ironic whimsy now.

Still sorely miss you, John.
