3. ooooh!! ugh:shiver: Freaky deja vu to my |

Jehovah's Witness childhood.
Can I ask if you have a reference point for that saying: "death is our common enemy"? Is it biblical?

16. Not biblical in my sense - I heard it from my old doctor |
|
Really cool guy - but ultimately believed our existence' purpose is to fight death.

6. makes one wonder about how evil takes over your body |
|
I would be willing to bet Morgan and Vigoda are kindred souls
Although Carlin was not evil (his drug use probably speeded up his demise)

15. It's a reminder that life is to be lived now and treasured. Let's not forget |
|
the 4000+ American soldiers that Bushie boy has sent to early graves, nor the unknown thousands of Iraqis that have died because of his illegal war.
When will we ever learn?

Checkpoints, and snapshots too so you can pull up an old you to advise you. Imagine asking a post school you to remind you why you did x.

But apparently no death in history was as important as Tim Russert judging by the media coverage.

21. The media always mourns its own |
|
If Helen Thomas dies (I always say that - after all its never been proven that you specifically are going to die) there will be the same kind of media attention.
