...and you are so right Donald. Just think of the great
photo chops you could have conjured up for our entertainment had it been the national day for, ohh saayy raccoons.
"Prediction: Obama will resign from office before his term is up."
Nope. He's young and healthy, going the distance.
I think it was said after the last election as well, goes like this:
“I’m tired now of the elections,” Bush said at a forum on America’s first ladies. “People spoke. Move on, get on with it. I want to do other things and not to be ugly.” Barbara Bush
I, for one, do not see how it would be worse with your absence.
During your recent absence ( I hadn't noticed you were gone until the posting of your TR)
there was no detectable difference in the overall betterment of this forum.
However, I agree with your comment above. Instead of 'forum' you could have indicated planet Earth ,with little change in the main thrust of your assertion. We all come and go- after we inhabit and then depart forums or planets- over time very little will be remembered of our presence, or absence. Even the owner of this site will be undetectable given the passage of enough time.
Since I know my presence is temporary, any one who attempts to convince me of same can only meet with approval. Despite the high horse they have just mounted , and the moral view their overall height automatically confers, there is much about the transience of life on the ground that they still continue to miss.
