that's how i feel too, except i'm fine with just the second line.
and i just loathe being on the same side as bush and the christian cons
about anything. but i can't help it.

i guess i'd better get around to asking mine what they would want.

i know. but if it were one of my kids, i wouldn't feel right proceding on
the basis of something they told me more than ten years before, in the
context of who knows what conversation. if they had some way to
recommunicate their wish, any way at all, then ok. of course, even then it
would kill me. i don't think i have a way to survive it. but i'll never
tell them that. here, more or less anonymously, i can say it.
