Better to go down dignified
With boughten friendship at your side
Than none at all. Provide, provide! - Robert Frost
Might be a good time to approach Eliot Spitzer on values-based planning. I am rehearsing some opening gambits:
- What are your family values? (Check all that apply; circle your top three.)
- How should we pass those values on to your children?
- What kind of world do you want to leave?
- How would you like to be remembered?
- What's next for you?
- What have you lost and what have you gained?
- How will your insights guide your life decisions going forward?
- Given your great gifts, how can you have the greatest possible impact for the good in the time that remains?
- Have you considered getting Born Again?
- If you were taken down by bigger evil doers than yourself, how can I help you get even?
- What role might philanthropy play in restoring or avenging your reputation?
What kind of world do you want to leave?
The present one. The future one perhaps also. Richard Branson is working on it.

What kind of world do you want to orbit? Might be safer to watch this old world from a safe distance, maybe another planet. For those with wealth the planet just might be disposable?

Richard says the traditional Rapture will be operational anywhere VG flies. He makes no claim to priority processing but does not preclude the possibility.

It is an open and democratic kind of thing. If you can afford the ticket you get to fly off planet earth before the biosphere collapses.
