misadministration please read the following to George W Bush and to the entire Bush Family?

When I was young, I set out to change the world. When I grew a little older, I perceived that this was too ambitious so I set out to change my state. This, too, I reazlied as i grew older was too ambitious, so I set out to change my town. When I realized I could not even do this, I tried to change my family. Now as an old man, I know that I should have started by changing myself. If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded in changing my family, the town, or even the sate--and who knows, maybe even the world!

1. unfortunately, that would require
a modicum of wisdom or interest in self-study on their part, which i am afraid is just not there. who knows what each one of them will awaken to on their deathbed? one can hope, but the damage they've already done is going to take an enormous amount of wisdom to undo.

2. Yeah, I've never heard of anyone on their death bed say
Gee I wish I had made more money. Gee I wish I had gathered more power. The money and power only last until you die.

3. Nah, he'd just say, "That's a nice story."
Now read me the one about that pet goat!

(The rabbi's words are very powerful, though! Don't think I've run across that one before. Thanks!)
