I usually agree with a lot of what you say, ODH, and oftentimes with the way you say it too. But seriously, right here it sounds like you're saying there's no point setting goals, and certainly no point working hard to reach them, because so much could (could) happen to derail that plan. So why bother. You don't honestly think that, do you?
