Hey Bart:

I recall saying several times over the last decade, "Well, at least we live in interesting times". If I had a choice I would rather the randomness and volatility of my age come from an upwelling of adventure, new technologies, breakthroughs in song, art and science, and the great thrills of the business world than that they come from mass assaults against my species.

Not like I have a choice! :>)
