63. He died at age 93, the past ten years spent in total unawareness
Edited on Sat Jun-05-04 04:13 PM by Marianne
He lived a long life and in his illness he had the best of care as well as his family and wife.

Many of us will die ten years earlier because we do not have the care or the access to the dare that this man did.

He did nothing for us. You know, us "little people" who have worked hard all of our lives, and did not slough off, and still are struggling at the age of seventy to buy food and to buy medicine.


He deserved nothing more than the rest of us who have watched loved ones be put away in nursing homes because they have Alzhiemers'. What great thing did he do that is greater than what any of us has done?


He lived a long life and he did nothing to deserve this special treatment that others in this country do not seem to deserve unless they are wealthy. and that is really sad and that says to me that people in tbis country really need to look out for themselves.


I cannot really pretend to be sorry that someone has died at the age of 93, who had all of the perps to keep alive to that age,when the proles or the paeons do not have the same.
