I see. My apologies for the lack of understanding.

I’m guilty of being a smart..., but I was surprised by the absolute disregard for Brittany Maynard’s terminal condition. I don’t support suicide, I don’t respect her decision, but Brittany has a short while to live on this earth. There is no possible way she will live unless there’s a miracle. I have dearly loved ones who have died of cancer including one parent and grandparent. I have sat by their bed side as the disease destroyed their body. My heart and prayers go out to Brittany and her family.

My father died of precisely what is killing her when he was only 64

And like you I was there...in fact I’ve cared for many dying kinfolk in one way or another...my mom...my wife’s people

Its what’s right

There is a mean streak here ...always has been.

Lack of empathy...sarcastic stern callous ladled with copious self righteousness

And the cliques....the harpies are mostly gone....it used to be awful

This forum is a mirror of human nature

Communal like mindedness and serious affection for one another

And some real pricks who seem to know each other but never disclose anything

WE all gravitate to kindred spirits and those we trust here

So tks....very windy and cold in rural TN tonight...measured snow over 2000 foot elevation....mighty early
