		<description>Lorena,

My life&#039;s far from perfect, but I don&#039;t find it miserable. I&#039;m sorry to hear you do.

Yes reincarnation has a certain appeal, especially if people come back as animals appropriate to their behaviour. That has a certain poetic justice. I can just imagine a naturalist calling out excitedly to his colleague:

&quot;What is it Ted?&quot;
&quot;It&#039;s this &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Priapulida&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;priapulid worm&lt;/a&gt;... it bears a striking resemblance to &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_falwell&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jerry Falwell&lt;/a&gt;!&quot;</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;I would certainly like to live forever.&lt;/i&gt;

Really? Isn&#039;t this one life miserable enough?

But if I must live forever, I&#039;d pick reincarnation over Christianity&#039;s heaven.
(1) I get recycled (yeah!)
(2) I get the chance to fix my mistakes
(3) I get to go somewhere else and to have problems with different people.</description>
