Onelife's recommendations for a long life:

1) Don't run from cops.
2) Don't spit on cops.
3) Don't tell cops where they can shove it!
4) Say "Yes, sir." and "No, sir." to cops, as required.
5) Don't take a swing at a cop.
6) If a cop is acting like a total jerk, see recommendation #4.

Although a general respect for authority might contribute to a successful and prosperous life, "long life" is helped by respect and courtesy (or feigned respect and courtesy) for people pointing guns at you.
