Ladies and gentlemen, if I may chime in. I believe no matter what we do or not do personally, will not make a difference. Maybe to our phyche, but that's about it. The book of life has already been written and we are living out the script. The book of revelations has already stated that the middle east would be the major hot spot. It also asserts that China will be the only superpower and they will march through Iran and take over the middle east and ergo armageddon. Needless to say the revelations were written many, many, many eons ago. Well it is here. All we can do as people is try to live our lives the best we can and when the time comes, be ready for the rapture. I may be way off base, who knows, but it is my belief that these things will come to fruition. Until then, I just wish Barbara and I can experience a few years in that other paradise first, TV. Johnny
