End of Life Issues

and for such a supposed liberal state, there is no way to end your life with dignity. You wind up in a nursing home or hospice, and suffer the agonies and soul stripping indignities of slow, torturous death. The state takes everything of value from you for that "honor". Maybe that's what they don't want to let go of by allowing legal assisted suicide.

As for myself, when my infirmities become too great for me to bear, I have what I call "Dr. Remington" set aside. It's a 12 ga. shotgun, and one shot to my brain stem will release me from my mortal coil, saving my family the problems of looking after an infirm old man. They're aware of my plans, so there will be less of a shock when it happens. I gave this a lot of thought over the years, and until the state allows a better alternative It's the best solution I could come up with.

My final wishes and expenses have been taken care of, so I won't leave a financial burden on my family. As far as I'm concerned that's my final act on the great stage of life.
