Over 1,400 have died after jumping off The Golden Gate Bridge, but 26 people are known to have survived the jump despite multiple internal injuries and broken bones (*that* sound like a fun swim!). So, would you say that for those 1,400+ who didn't survive, jumping off The Golden Gate Bridge did not cause their death, but was only an agent that makes death more likely? If so, what *was* the cause of death?
If I ever get the medical death sentence ("less than n months to live") I intend to cash a piece of my retirement, buy a handgun and a small rv and head out on the road on unfinished business. (Hopefully, it will be near the start of ski season.) The RV is to get me where I want to go. The handgun is to take me away from where I do not want to be.
True enough, but according to the basic principle "Benj" is touting, the sudden decelaration at the surface of the water, brain damage, shock, internal bleeding, etc. was *not* the cause of death as long as a few manage to survive. I am interested in his logic.
My plan for dealig with ternimnal cancer (fiction, for entertainment purposes only):
White van, 50 caliber sniper rifle firing through small hole, silencer, scope, adjustable holding vise for perfect aim, solenoid operated quick-change license plate, easy-to-pull off vinyl logo of various companies that have a lot of white vans. Handgun for the quick suicide if needed.
Select target with long sight line and little chance of hitting the innocent (leader of a gang standing around in a public park at 3AM, murderer who got off because he is rich playing golf...) and put a bullet through his head from 20 football fields away.
Those idiot beltway snipers used the same gun they had used to rob a liquor store in Alabama, left Tarot cards and long handwritten notes demanding money for the police to find, fired from 50-100 yards away, and stayed in one area. If they hadn't been so stupid, it would have been almost impossible to find them. Most police work is based on the attacker knowing the victim.
Yeah, isn't it ironic? Here I am, with the cure for cancer, and nobody wants it because it involves self-knowledge, and evidently people would rather die than look critically at their own mental attitudes.
Oh, well.
Cheers! Rich
