It's nothing more than the thoughts - feelings, if you will - that I've had since I was a small child.  I've known we earthlings are an experiment.  We are unwitting actors.  But I also know to be chosen to perform is the greatest gift of all. 

As that fat emotional turd in a red wig once sang...."God is watching us....from a distance".

I just had a song by Rush go through my head!!!

All the world's indeed a stage
And we are merely players:
Performers and portrayers,
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

I can see the whole world is just a circus
And I can tell that the circus
Why it’s just hell
And then I heard a drummer rolling
I found my seat’s been stolen
Then a spotlight hit me going wild in centre ring
For all you fancy lion-tamers, high-wire fiery flamers
Ravers of every kind
For all you high-stepping sexy witches
Sons of satin, son-of-bitches
All were there, in my dreams
All in my dreams

The Bard's original version continues to be the best:

Quote
    To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
    Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
    To the last syllable of recorded time,
    And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
    The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
    Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
    That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
    And then is heard no more: it is a tale
    Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
    Signifying nothing.

If I wake up, you'all will be very surprised to find you are characters in my dreams.  And, of course, you'll disappear.

Funny you should say that.  A coffee table was the example I used when I made the point that God was so great we our universe could be encased inside one atom. 

Then our coffee tables could be the home of one trillion X one trillion other universes, and their coffee tables could be.....dotdotdot....infinity.....dotdotdot.....

When I wake up from my dreams, I can promise you - you will have never been there......unless you are the long-tongued daddy with big feet who keeps chasing me and screaming "Canvas, not COTTON!"

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
