I agree w/ Stuck that you made an excellent point on the past vs. the present. The self-help guru Tony Robbins (got a D, one observes, so take w/ many many grains of salt! ) had a catch-phrase I heard him use once on an info-mercial, and it's always stuck (no pun intended) with me:

"The past doesn't equal the future."

I think that's pretty apropos for DB'ers generally. But WAS's go the other way.
