Nobody dies?  You are quite serious?  Surely you believe
that a bandit with a gun can kill you.  Wouldn't you find
that at least inconvenient?

In your way of using words, how should the 30,000,000
who're no longer with us since the Great Leap Forward
be described?   Not as dead?

Your reply is yet another question.  Been hitting the Zen bottle, eh?

But your "Time does not exist permanently" is seriously funny!
You ought to consider putting that on your tombstone!  Is there
a passerby whose grave aspect would not at least for a moment
be lightened by such?  W.C. Fields move over.
