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
