Reply #117: Why would you imply I don't think your parents' lives are worth [View All]

what mine is?????????????????

I am specifically referring to the impact on society when people at the height of their productivity, whether financial or otherwise, are struck down disproportionally. We expect the frail and elderly to die. They do so with considerable regularity, I hear. But how often do you hear that your grandmother's young or middle-aged physician has been struck down in the prime of their life? How about your daughter's friend in high school? Or the guy who drives the trash truck? When working people die like flies, I guarantee it will affect all of us more than if the same number of deaths occurred in nursing home residents.

Simple fact of life. Don't take it personally.
