X-Message-Number: 18962 Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 12:46:01 -0700 (PDT) From: Dani Kollin <> Subject: Re: Rudi & Charles Re: writing a script for 6'under. I nominate Rudi as well. He's articulate, eloquent and writes a damned good posting. Re: Charle's statistics. Well done. I've often wondered what my actual chances were of making it to a "mild" death. Your numbers rang true and truth be told I don't mind the uphill battle as long as I've got a clear view of the hill. While we've all known from the start that our endeavor to live longer is fraught with all sorts of roadblocks we've also known that what marks us as unique is our steady pursuit, in the face of those roadblocks, to achieve our goal. Logically, Charles may be right in saying that statistically it may be better to live life large for your remaining years rather than sock the money away for a preservation that has a small chance of being "optimal." I for one choose to live life large with the perhaps blind hope that I a)will make it over the cusp (I'm 37) or that b) my death will be mild enough for a decent suspension. Hope springs eternal. Money comes and goes. Dani __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
