> We *expect* to die from disease or an automobile accident.

I'm glad I kept reading. Because, initially I was thinking, well first of all, I expect that some day I will die, but I DON'T *expect* to die in an automobile accident, and second, if I were in a space shuttle accident, I WOULD expect to die.

But then I read on, and I see your point. Perhaps in a small way, it does answer my question. Actually, it does answer my question.

Perhaps 20 years from now, after we've had more space shuttle accidents, they too will appear on page 8 next to the "military aircraft crashes on training flight - 8 dead" articles. And people will say "Hmm... another space shuttle crashed today... oh, do you think the Saints will make it to the Super Bowl this year?"

Thanks for the profound response. No one has the answers, but I appreciate the reply.

PS by the second paragraph, I was wondering if you were the poster, when I reached the Cajun comment, I knew.
