In my lifetime, we've gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We've gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we'll be voting for plants. ↗

Every song has a composer, every book has an author, every car has a maker, every painting has a painter, and every building has a builder.
