Yeah. I don't have a problem with knowing I'm going to die. I
   figure I've got 'til 84-88, maybe less, unlikely more. So, to
   you, death is the only potential freedom? For me, I suppose,
   imagination fits that slot for me. I got no limits there. Here
   in this weird world we live in, there's annoying things like
   cooperation and stuff. == I don't mind that I'm going to die one
   day but to me it's a game-over situation. I enjoy being alive
   and being here. Not everything in it - there's a lot of shit in
   life. But I kinda see it from an absurd point of view: look how
   silly people get, worked up over things when they're just gonna
   die anyway. Look how ridiculous wars are, political power -
   heck, any kind of people shooting for power over others. What
   are they doing it for? Silly really. So, I do a lot of laughing
   at the seriousness ppl take live with. At the same time, since
   this *is* my one-shot, I'm going to learn as much as I can, help
   as many ppl as I can, put myself "out there" so little pieces of
   me are left behind randomly. So perhaps our philosophies aren't
   so far off. We're both death-oriented except perhaps I'm
   enjoying my shot here a little more. == I could be a martyr -
   it'd have to be a damn good cause. There's only a few things
   that really 'grab' me enough that I'd want to be a martyr for
   and even THEN, I'm not sure if I'd want to. I like sitting on my
   back porch on my ugly yellow chair sitting on the Internet
   talking about philosophy or whatever. But if a cause really got
   me down to the core, I could do it. Well, I hope you find a
   cause worth fighting for, although I also hope you don't die
   from it right away. There's a lot of information gathering and
   distribution you can do before then. ==
