Being dead is actually great. No bills to pay. No more worrying about politics. No more being trapped in an aging body. Complete freedom, I call it. The fact that it is so great explains why so very few people have ever come (directly, I mean) back from the dead. They like it better there.

The Buddhists, though, say that if you still have any corporial desires driving you, then you will come back at some point via reincarnation. And I think they're probably right about that.

So even though it is better there than here, people usually do come back after awhile, drawn by their unsatisfied desires. And then they start bitching about all the usual troublesome stuff here (like the OBIT threads and Ann Coulter) and worrying about getting old and dying! ;-D

Divine comedy. Try to enjoy it if you can.
