First of all;

"your moderate, mealy mouthed, equivocating comments"

I've been shamingly sober for the past few months and therefore have been acting/typing in a "socially acceptable" manner.  That is rapidly changing.

Second;

"look after the living and people won't have to die so much"

The problem ISN'T I'm not looking after others, the problem is that the ultrawealthy Cheney-ites treat everyone else like processable cattle and that will continue.  Other than the final peace of death, what REALISTIC alternatives exist for the non-ultrawealthy?

Let's have a Soylent Green alternative.  Euthanasia processing centers.  Sign me up!

If you intend to go on posting here, please make sure that doesn't change too much.

its a film too if we're playing charades.

Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.

Well, it's not;  It is going to manage very well on its own, thank you.  

I am sure that the rich have some extensive eugenic, mass die-off, cleansing schemes.  

But those don't really count as a solution.  In fact the opposite.

"the ultrawealthy Cheney-ites treat everyone else like processable cattle"

True, but recall that the cattle voted the Cheney-ites into power. That's not quite the same situation as in 18th century France or 19th century Russia, where significant revolutions took place...
