     Again, however, my little corner of the universe will only be affected
by what people BIGGER than me do. What I personally do affex nobody but those
"beneath" me or on my level. That being the case, for me to be concerned with
the larger picture is admirable, interesting, etc., but not particularly
relevant. As long as I can live comfortably in my own corner of the universe,
that's what's most important.
