I couldn't agree with you more.
Btw, it's nice to finally have a face to go with 'BadSheep'Is that the Seattle skyline I can see in the background?
It is Seattle! Cinjin was nice enough to help me with my avatar pic and did some computer magic to add that in there. I'm actually in Tacoma, but there is nothing memorable about Tacoma. Seattle is better.
We are are part of nature, built from the same stuff as stars, planets, asteroids, and comets. Our protons and neutrons have been around since the earliest times, glued together into heavy elements of long dead ancient suns, blasted out into the universe and resculpted from diffuse interstellar dust clouds by the gentle hand of gravity. When the pattern of atoms known to be you ceases to be, the building blocks will return to the voids of space, and in a billion years or more, they may take their place in another structure so beautiful that a future mind may perceive it to be the work of a god. ~ Brian Cox
