Raincheck: Sentence Of Death

Scythe Dept: And no wonder so many people have something to say about euthanasia. We're all involved. There's no avoiding it. We're all under the same sentence of death. You spend most of your time not thinking about it, but it's just a question of when and how. And do you get to choose how or don't you?, according to Montreal Gazette. And not only do I not want to be present at my own death: I'd like to skip all the others, too, particularly people close to me and the existence of Geoffrey Kelley's commission on euthanasia indicates that Quebecers are ready to tackle death. They've done abortion, gay rights and immigration. Now, it's time to move on to death. Nothing but the big ones! Notice how I say "you" and not "we." Death is an event we don't want to be part of. Woody Allen's right. You don't mind dying, but you just don't want to be there when it happens. Can I have a raincheck? you ask the hooded monk figure with the scythe. No, this is one of the things that might happen to "you" but not to "me." Not yet, anyway. As reported in the news.
