USEFUL QUOTE (FOR ME AT LEAST)

"The thing to do when you're impatient...is to turn to your left and ask advice from your death. An immense amount of pettiness is dropped if your death makes a gesture to you, or if you catch a glimpse of it, or if you just have the feeling that your companion is there watching you."  —Don Juan (from Journey To Ixtlan)

Yes, wish more people would do this. I seem to recall some advice given for a recalcitrant child-about taking the child to a morgue and having him lay hands in a corpse to advance his perpsective.thank you..

And on a sad note about death - but apropos of the subject, further bastardization, misinterpretation, misapplications and tragic mangling of the second amendment:

Perhaps this dead child's parents will rethink their gun ownership and it's so called benefits.

That's a terrible story Robert, especially the accumulation of tragic incidents.
