<DIV>Sworn this day of December 15th, 2005. The bearer is hereby
promised after printing this guarantee he or she will at some later stage
in life attain increased inner peace by acceptance of the now
apparent fact that nationalism and gross oppression will
persist in concert for the duration of most of this century. It is also
collaterally understood that manhood and warfare are directly
linked.</DIV>
