It's a rule of life. You can't start your next life until you finish
this one. Of course, we don't know if the next life will be any
better than this one, so most people aren't in a hurry to end this
one.

OK, that was rude on his part. But effective; if I had seen the blurb
before it was changed I would have read the story, if for no other
reason than as a possible glimpse into your psyche.

Poor analogy. Hitler WANTED to finish what he started; he just wasn't
up to the task.

But would that be such a bad thing? Dentist's make lots of money and
get paid for hurting people. There is no rule that you HAVE to be
like Orin Scrivello. The job provides opportunities for getting
familiar with hot chicks - always a good thing.

Well, the bible says god made the world in six days. Now as I look at
the news this Sunday morning, I have to say he did a pretty crappy job
in some areas. (Girls and bikinis are two areas he did well. Girls
in bikinis are definitely great!) He definitely did not finish the
job if politicians are any indication. So, I would have to say on
that basis alone, finishing the job is a good thing.
