Sorry to sort of hijack your thread, Weedhound.
You're saying that the future is not certain, but this does not mean that we cannot plan for it to the best of our abilities. If we did not then nothing would get accomplished.

Life is a calculated risk. You can sit on your ass and do nothing; or you can assess the risk and move forward accepting that things may not go as planned and you may have to change things accordingly.

The way you make it sound is as though we can't do anything about it so screw it. I would never conform to that mentality personally.
