Nightbird....Interestesing that you mentioned the song "In the Year 2525." I just bought my guitar from the guy who wrote that song. His name is Dennis Zager. He builds beautiful guitars.
Back to the topic. Not to be disrespectful of anyone's beliefs about the End. I just don't think we should live our lives anticipating an end.
With the state of things as they are, though, we are all surely going to have to make serious modifications in our lifestyles.
