I used to drink Stag, because I wanted to be like my hero.

Precisely my point. So, while I don't know if it will be better, worse, or merely different, it seems illogical to me that there is not something beyond "this."

So matter just.... is? Not very scientific! Reminds me of the old 'imponderables'.
Bob, what I mean is that while we might believe in the golden rule it doesn't mean everyone else does.

Kind of like when the missionaries went to Hawaii to enlighten the natives. They "enlightened" them of everything that was not screwed down.

Kind of like a skit the CBC did years back when sone Senator suggested that Britain could pay off all the Lend ZLease by giving Canada to the US. So the skit involved the US sending up various people to Americanize all the Canadians, one was a New York cab driver to teach them all how to drive.
Another was an evangelical missionary to teach the Inuit people;
Reporter" "So what did you learn from the missionary?"
Inuit: "Missionary say Thou shall not steal. Me say 'What is Steal?' Missionary tell me, now me rich man."
