And if your thinking prevails, watch for someone to demand you die for their convenience.

It's not my thinking. It's simply my prediction. Gen-Xers came to adulthood in a world where abotion was "legal". They are used to death as convenience. There are many who think otherwise. But most are numbed to the culture of death.

Flaming hogwash. As a society, we are insulated from death. We deny it. Meat doesn't come from the bodies of animals, it comes shrink-wrapped from glistening, sanitary stores free of the blood, urine, and fear of the slaughterhouse. We commonly cannot even execute the most cruel and inhuman of serial killers.

However, when it comes to greed, nothing tops the demand that the old shuffle off because they are inconvenient to the young. This isn't about a death-culture. This is about a ME-ME-ME culture. Boomers largely grew up in herds and had to share. Gen Xers are analogues of the "Little Emperors" in China, the only children who happen to be sons, pampered and made rottenly spoiled. They want it ALL and they want it NOW, and they want it at ANY cost. Grandma needs a new knee? Blow her head off, I want HDTV.
