I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I
can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

I'm sick of following my dreams. I'm just going to ask them where they're

<div>Andy,</div><div>=C2=A0</div><div>There are, of course, times when you =

<div>=C2=A0</div><div>I think your suggestion is a good one but would it be=
possible to write the code so that if refresh or expire=C2=A0time is below=
a certain amount, or the difference between them is less than a certain fi=
