I could not read the whole article before it stopped me. But here's my take on this. I understand what these people mean. I totally understand it. They want to live. Bless them.
From my personal point of view I would have difficulty, to say the least. All my life I've been active: sports, hobbies, interests and more. I've always relied on myself to do what needed to be done. If I could do it, I did it. There have been few instances were I had to call for help. Even a few days ago I was up on my 28 foot ladder cleaning out the upstairs gutter. My wife didn't like it, but I did it. I'm 75. I still have mobility but the aches and pains of old age are there.
If I lose my mobility - If I lose my self-worth - If I cannot rely on myself - then so be it. My world is done, finished. I've lived my life with few regrets. I will die some day. So I will accept it and be done with it.
Yes, it's like a boat out in the middle of the ocean without gas or oars. Not heading anywhere. Just afloat.
And to add this: Our country today is lost. The world I grew up in is gone. I do not / will not live in a country where I see ours is headed. I will go down fighting.
Totally my opinion. Joe
