I was hoping by the time I got old and infirm, that at the very least society would've evolved enough by then to allow people the dignity of a needle and a peaceful death when their time has come, instead of dragging it out for days, weeks, or months. Now I'm not so hopeful. Looks like, as if everything else, we're on our own with that one.

much ado about nothing...reporter posed question as, "had he spoken to any *living* presidents?..
i agree the reporter's question was absolutely LAME..."has he spoken to any LIVING past presidents?" um...as opposed to talking to dead ones? I thought his response was quick-witted considering the idiocy of the question--at least he didn't put the reporter on the spot and embarrass her...instead he made his first gaffe as POTUSE and already apologized. let's hope the reporters ask SMARTER questions at the next conference.
