So true, but alas it's the doom of mankind to forget. Mankind will one day end up just like that fabled ship when he hits his iceberg-The Judgment of God Almighty. A lot of wisdom in just five lines Bob, good one!

Greed seems to be overpowering our nations at time leaving the masses to fend for themselves in breadlines and soup kitchens. Yes, God is all powerful and Almighty. God has the final say. Love, Susan
