18. You know, Cal04, we are born with nothing.

If we are very lucky, we have loving parents.

If we are even more lucky we get enough education.

Then we work for 50 years.

After this, our bodies grow old and come down with some awful wasting disease that eats us from the inside.

Finally, our strength gone, our bones brittle we die, having left our estate to the health 'care' system which 'heroically' tried to 'save' us during the last months.

When we die, we have nothing and go into the great beyond.

That's life as it is for most of us. And you know what keeps me cheerful?

Kittens!

Thanks!
