Lyrically it's one of the most clever compositions out there, and musically it's minimalist but incredibly fitting.

Of course, my parents are in their 90's now...94, and 92. So I should make it to 81, with any luck.

I hope the world will be a lot more peaceful by then.

Not everybody is young. But it warms my black heart that there will be many here at DU to carry on, hopefully long after I am gone. That is a heritage to which we all should recognize as our collective legacy.

Not a great question. But it offers an opportunity for dialog.

Wondering if we spent the money we'll squander there on educating their people over arming and training them that they might want their own country to be better rather than having us trying to push them to that end.

Or if we spent just a fraction of that money at home what wonders it could do for our economy, future, etc.
