Reply #38: I believe the answer to your question [View All]

is dependent on the situation that existed in the past. That's not the situation we're interested in--it's the situation that we've already gone through, that doesn't exist any more. Now, does it affect the situation we have now? Of course it does. But we can't change that, and we can't change the situation as it is now. All we can change is the situation in the future, and we change that by acting aggressively in the present. Now, do I wear contacts? No, I find that glasses give me an air of authority, let the runts around the Pentagon know that I've been through the past when it was the present, let them know that I acted aggressively when the past was--when it was as it was as a present, and made the present situation what it is by my actions in the past. Now, was that all good? No, certainly not. You can't know the future. Can you guess? You can, but you won't be right. You don't have the vision to look forward. Now, I think--I like to think I've got good vision for the future, and I think the glasses symbolize that.

That's all the questions for the night. Thank you. I'm going to bed.
