Nothing's the Matter

People are often alarmed when I say that when I died I was in a great big beautiful black nothing. But the nothing was so full!!!

astronomers find hole in the universe

You are all there is

I will put a clip from a recent speaking engagement, in which I asked why the pope (or anyone) would have more authority over you than you.

And as I was speaking sweet, sweet, Walt popped into my head;

Is it you then that thought yourself less?
Is it you that thought the President greater than you?
Or the rich better off than you? Or the educated wiser than you?
