Reuters – 8 mins ago

NEW YORK (Reuters) – Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor, one of the most alluring actresses of the 20th century, died on Wednesday at age 79, her publicists said.

My first introduction to her was in the movie National Velvet which put her on the map opposite Mickey Rooney. The latter I would venture to say was probably one of the best and one of the least appreciated actors of the last century. They're lives continued down similar paths in love and marriage. Both Liz Taylor and Mickey were married 8 times.

One thing we can all agree on? The right to live & the right to die? Well, in this crowd at least the right to die, right?

Only one T in Bucket.

Kevorkian was a great man. He stood up for a profound personal belief, a right that we grant our cats and dogs but due to disturbed religious fanatics we make it illegal to give to our loved ones. I say "disturbed" because religious people should be happy and willing to let God take whom ever he chooses but instead they fight and kick and claw to the bitter end to postpone their glorious ascension into the arms of Jesus.

No one called me murderer when I euthenized my 19 year old cat who was approaching his natural death but before he suffered too much.

And what I most remember about Kevorkian: when being interviewed he said that he did not believe in God - Bach was his God.

And we put this great man in prison for 8 years. Shame on us.

Good day all: I think what EOTWAWKI is trying to say is that their is a sense of schizophrenia to modern Christian thinking. On the one hand they fight to the death (no pun intended) to stay alive, but the religion teaches that heaven is a better place, and the ultimate goal of existence is to go to heaven.
I was my Mother's caregiver when she had colon cancer. She passed away in my home. Every morning for the last few weeks she would say that she hoped today was the day she would die. She weighed 68# when she died.
If it would have been legal and if there had been any way to do it for her, I would have done it. In spite of pain patches and pain pills she suffered horribly.
On the other hand investigation has shown that Kevorkian assisted with some patients for whom there was still hope of recovery. I have had both cancer and was diagnosed with lupus. The cancer is cured and the lupus is in full remission.
Although I have health problems, mostly related to stress, I am not ready to die.
Six years ago when I had cancer the thought crossed my mind that if I found myself in my moms condition I would not end up like her, and would take care of it myself, but my story had a much happier ending.
This seems to me to be a subject with a lot of gray areas.

Jobs death hits home for me being a dyed in the wool mac person. I went through university well before personal computers were around. To put things in perspective I still used a slide rule as an undergrad. I thought it was a god send that I could type my PhD thesis on a terminal in a Unix based text editor and avoid egregious fees to some typist. My very first personal computer that I actually owned was an Apple IIc. I was hooked. Since then I've gone the gamut...currently use an iphone, an imac, and an ipad and an airbook. I have a side hobby business (if you could call it that) now where I move between two places and am now contemplating a mac mini! Crazed I may be but I still have that IIc boxed up and will pass it on to the next generation as a keep sake and it might actually be worth something as an antique.

Jobs did change the world as we knew it back then. An amazing intuitive mind the likes of which comes along only so often.
