- shadowsun7 16y ago70 years from now you may think differently. I'm not saying that as a bad thing, or in a condescending way, merely to point out that sometimes, we truly cannot know what looking death in the face feels like. And that our thoughts on various things - all sorts of things - change when we finally do.
