Nahhh, time is circular.

And where would a discussion thread about time be without, "Time flies like the wind. And fruit flies like bananas."

Steve Miller figured this out years ago...

"Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future...

I want to fly like an eagle To the sea Fly like an eagle Let my spirit carry me I want to fly like an eagle Till I'm free..."
