My guess is that nothing really will happen. Chances are Republicans will lose house majority this year, so that challenges President Bush greatly, i.e., it will be very difficult for him to push his agenda.

Even with exercise - I suspect it's really more the positive attitude that lengthens your life rather than the exercise - which actually really shortens it. I know you're going to jump on me for this - but think about it - isn't it a fact that your heart will only beat a certain number of times, and mussle and tissue only repair itself a certain number of times? And each time it repairs, it gets it slightly wrong... so that it never repairs perfectly?

And each time it repairs, it gets it slightly wrong... so that it never repairs perfectly? yes, it's a fact as we know it, but some beliefs address this, and why this is the case when you think about it, it doesn't make sense that the heart stops beating, when the brain could go on learning forever
