That's so zen, though. Maybe it would be healthy. If we don't exist, we
don't have to buy Christmas presents for the other people who don't exist.
Also, we don't have to bomb Iraq to get their oil patch, because if we don't
exist, then our cars don't have any reason to go anywhere.
Or, we could just photoshop Saddam away.
