He said It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

-Bible (NewTestament)
St  John19:30.

  All this will not be finished in the first100 days, nor will it be finished in the first1,000 days, nor in the life of this Administrationönor even, perhaps, in our lifetime on this planet. But let us begin.

-Kennedy,John F(itzgerald)

We are always acting on what just finished happening. It happened at least1/30th of a second ago. We think we're inthe present, but wearen't.The present we know is onlya movie of the past.
