Antonia  [More info] I know that this is the beginning of Gettysburg Address, but I don't know what actually it means: Why four score? I guess seven years ago can be calculated and the answer will be-perhaps Declaration of Independence? Thank you Antonia Joined on Fri, Mar 11 2005 Contributing Member 1,266

	+1 Clive  [More info] Hi, Thank you. I see that you like geese in the snow. I like this saying by Lao-tzu (Li Erh): The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself. Best wishes, Clive   Clive
