if your name is nixon... you lead a relatively private life until your death.

if your name is ford... you join various civic organizations and serve on various boards of directors (incidentally, President Ford serves on a board for my grandpa and he is well acquainted w/the platypus family)

if your name is carter... you build houses to salvage the dignity you fritter away on poorly conceived bids for relevancy.

if your name is reagan... you ride horses and live on a ranch till a debilitating condition robs you of consciousness.

if your name is bush... you watch your son be President and sky dive on your birthday.

if your name is clinton... you sell tons of books and make money hand over fist (not meant to be an insult).

if your name is... well, i guess we'll see... won't we?

There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
