He wants to forget his past as a draft dodger and a deserter.
He wants not to be the stupidest person in the room wherever he goes.
He wants to forget his past as a boozer and a cokehead.
He wants to grow up and be a real man.
He wants to forget how he panicked and froze on 9/11.
He wants the world to understand that God likes rich people best.
He wants to forget he ever read the last panel of Amazing Fantasy #15.

"But now is a new thing which is very old--
that the rich make themselves richer and not poorer,
which is the true Gospel, for the poor's sake."
