Harvested

[Anne]

For refusing to go to the military when he was called upon. Can't just not go.  It went to the SCOTUS, before he had his name cleared as a conscientious objector due to his religious beliefs.

I remember that, didn't he flunk the induction test? I remember that being a really big deal, since back then if you could sign your name you passed. That was a much bigger deal than his conversion. If I remember correctly hadn't he been close to Louis Faracon for awhile before that?

  Who really cares, he's dead.   RIP Ali, you suffered enough.

Buddy Ryan, architect of the '85 Chicago Bears defense and longtime NFL head coach, dead at 82, his agent tells ESPN's Adam Schefter

One of the Greatest Defensive minds football ever had...

Hate to hear about Pat Summitt.  She won a whopping eight national titles, which is more than any other NCAA Division 1 basketball coach, male or female.

I can't imagine dying of Alzheimer's.  You're a prisoner in your own mind for a decade before it finally kills you.

It is awful. Met a man at the nursing home on Sunday who was there who has it. He kept wanting his mother and that his wife hadn't been there to visit him. Several high school class mates have had parents who had it.

  I knew a person who had it and they seem to be happy.  They didn't remember me, they didn't remember anyone, they didn't remember the past, they didn't know what day it was and they seem not to care a damn about it.  Just one moment at a time.      If I found out I had it, it's time for me to go now, if you know what I mean.

Yup!  Heard and understood.

Elie Wiesel, Nobel laureate and the Holocaust's memory keeper, died July 2 at his home in New York. He was 87. By the time of his death, millions had read "Night," his account of the concentration camps where he watched his father die and where his mother and younger sister were gassed.

Yes, I understand. When my late mother went through cancer treatments and the chemotherapy was horrible, my brother said there are times you wish you could end those who are suffering's life for them.
