acknowledgements

“The earth belongs to the living. No man may by natural

right oblige the lands he owns or occupies to debts greater

than those that may be paid during his own lifetime.

Because if he could, then the world would belong to the

dead and not to the living.”

-Thomas Jefferson

“The future ain’t what it used to be.”

-Yogi Berra

final thoughts

Questions?

“I wish I had an answer to that because I’m getting

tired of answering that one.”

-Yogi Berra
