Remember, if a someone does protest a family choice in a >real life situation<, the Living Will and the lawyers, courts and legislatures do have a real function and influence on your wishes for yourself. And, they would/could have real fundamental troubles, as when deciding between the "Pina Colada" and the "shot of brandy" absurdity, as illustrated (I hope) humorously herein and noted. Write a Living Will with a good lawyer's help to avoid, in the common sense of the words, the more serious side of the raw humor expressed "herein this'n here" document.

We each have our locus of thought biased in ourselves. "Ego" is our mental thing and "central" to the "I" and "me" we each are. Therefore the word: egocentric.

These catalyze into "'My egocentric BELIEF' of how the world is and should be".</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>When you I's are asked to CONSIDER MY MEDICAL CASE, AND NOT YOUR BELIEFS, the total result is egocentrically based, by the most part, on YOUR conjecture of MY pending circumstances from YOUR point of view, not its facts from MY point of view.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>How could I give up such an important honor of such power and influence? </B></div> <div> <B>REMEMBER: While YOU are doing all that, I'd probably be laying in a bed with a tube down my throat, an IV drip with white coloured dope to keep me knocked out-so that-I am not conscience -, and- don't feel the pain -, so-I won't throw up from gagging; trying to pull the tubes out in a half-conscience craze…in addition to- any of a number of medical problems that put me in that dubious position to begin with.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>NOW,</B></div> <div> <B>Having first understood the previous paragraphs,</B></div> <div> <B> to satisfaction by a minimum of 36 minutes, but not more than 36 legal hours, as measured by a state-of-the-art computer, of oral questioning by a board of 12 Ph.D.s of English,</B></div> <div> <B>and,</B></div> <div> <B>no lawyers or government types to twist it to their legalese advantages for their positions or paychecks;</B></div> <div> <B>then, understand the following secondly:</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"Only if there is a 'reasonable chance' consensus</B></div> <div> <B>by the majority of medical doctors and medical team members who have really, and personally, reviewed my files, lab results and made physical exams, and etceteras,</B></div> <div> <B>that:</B></div> <div> <B>I will be able to recover in 'a common sense' truly-conscience quality of life' for some reasonable time,</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Of about six months or more, or, not a week or two, and, an admittedly difficult point to put into words- (Noted seriously and not in humor.)';</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Then, keep me on life support to recover in their consensus;</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>If not, or,</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> there is no avail by same said consensus; then, pull the plugs - because -> the hospital don't need our money that bad, spend it on the grandchildren's education or something more important like that instead, and two too, somebody with 'a reasonable chance' might need the hospital bed and medical equipment and medicines more than me at that point."</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"If my end is untimely, by accident or design, then those of you who know what to do, well, you know what to do, K.C."</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Truly, </B></div> <div> <B>Psyche Sailor - Mind Technician - Peer Counselor </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Hum?</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>PS, </B></div> <div> <B>NOTES: I have a few other logical problems with the Living Will v 1.0.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>If I were to wake up at some time during the first month of a coma </B><B><U>I would not ask for a Pina Colada </U></B><B>as in paragraph 1 </B><B><U>of v 1.0</U></B><B>.</B></div> <div> <B> </B><B><U>I would ask for `a shot of brandy'</U></B><B>.</B></div> <div> <B>This being facts, the lawyers would/could argue that I would have to die anyway, although I had waked up, live and responding to you - but - I answered the question wrong.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>See, I would ask for a shot of brandy, and that is not written in the will v 1.0, so the fundamentalist `'law-yer' says, "Wrong answer, Bub!" and to the attendants, he would order, "Make him die, the contract says 'Pina Colada', not `'shot of brandy'." Lawyers, judges and courts, being extreme fundamentalists in law, they couldn't allow the common sense difference from the fundamental words in the written paper and my live body asking for a "shot of brandy" instead of a "Pina Colada" - especially if it suits their purpose for some reason, i.e., $.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>(NOTE: This is bad for words' strict, literal, or fundamental meaning and interpretations of meanings, for any word or word-strings.)</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>(NOTE also that logical reason and problem solving for best results, also, seems to go out the window and into the trash, IF you put a $ in the formula. They and the business-folkers all just get sort of, well, "glassy eyed-stupid, and logically un-logical, transposing the formula to get maximum $, rather than best results," - seems to me, but then may be, just may be its me and not them. I perceive this as the method of fault with human preemptive reins over the Earth, in other words, the major problem with humans controlling the earth for $ not 'best results'. We are destroying ourselves. We are destroying our living, Earth habitat. We are like baker's yeast in the warm water habitat. I perceive the living Earth is becoming unhealthy for us, justly as baker's yeast pours more alcohol waste in it's warm water habitat as the yeast grows…to about 14% concentration of alcohol:water; then all yeast cells die. Sorry I'm so pessimistic. Well then, can we/you improve?)</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Because of the fundamental word problem of humans pointed out above, we have difficulties, like in this situation of voicing how you will be cared for and dealt with when you are incapacitated. (God, forgive me here!)> "First there was a word…", it was writ down, and then it became the `root word', with all kinds of 'word-children' by a touch of a prefix and postfix. Children-words, with shaded meanings, uh?</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>No, it is prefix and 'suffix' meanings - and we so swallowed that "fruit of knowledge" = word became words, and, so, we got all screwed up, and had to invent philosophy to explain: "What do you perceive when you look at an apple on a table?" The 'perception is' easy, it is 'describing it to someone else' that's the problem part! The lawyers and judges would be squabbling amongst themselves about some "words on paper" or in some "law book" with no real regard for the real common sense that you can't definitively write down (but a paycheck will perky, their lit'l minds).</B></div> <bR> <div> <B><U>It's often, but </U></B><I><B><U>honestly not always</U></B></I><B>, more about their social positions or paychecks than the common sense.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> Especially when it's the democrats groups vs. the republicans groups. It is not the common sense in the issues, it is which side wins the arguments. This in fact happens in their so-called "law" so much these days is why many of us, generally, have such low faith in their political "law" any more, or the lawyers, courts, or legislatures and so forth. We keep hoping they will wake up and smell the coffee, for Pete's sake.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>For Pete's sake? Yep, for him and all the rest of us too! </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>As to the local, state and federal legislatures enacting laws:</B></div> <div> <B>I want them to enact laws that 'enable common sense over fundamental wording'. Limit extreme application of law theory in situations for interpretations of law and religion philosophies. Especially where they become questionable to common sense, i.e. interpreting the "Pina Colada" vs. "a shot of brandy" dilemma in this document.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>I have no problem with 'anyone stating an opinion in any non-violent way,'</B></div> <div> <B>for or against</B></div> <div> <B>any situation, person, people or agency or group or business or government or decision,</B></div> <div> <B>in any event and at any time, including any non-violent opinion</B></div> <div> <B>from</B></div> <div> <B>any private or public person, people or agency or group or business or any of the questionable or unquestionable elected and appointed government and non-government officials and newspaper/radio/TV/'repooters' and preachers by all names ->>></B></div> <div> <B>7. >>>Within the laws of slander and liable.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>IF an opinion is given in "any violent way," in the normal, common sense of the words, "any violent way," then:</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Sic the cops and lawyers and red-necks and all the preachers of all the religions on 'em, and jail 'em fer good, and throw away th' keys. We all know what t' do with troublemakers `round here. Them a pushing and a'shoving and a'kicking and screaming, or worse. Hump! Gall dang it, all of them!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Also, dang `m, a less known help, but still effective - say some, now anyway, would be to have the "Dark Psychics" and the "White Psychics," and the readers and casters that are everywhere, to cast "thought-spells" on 'm. They can't be one of these Psychics - because…, because…, well…, …hum? Well, because I SAID SO! Dang it! I'm writing this 'n here thing, and I ain't a makein' none of this stuff up. No, sireee, Robert! This is the Go-spell!!!!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Dark Psychics will cast non-violent-projections of "dark thoughts of punishment" into the violent scumbag's puny lit'l brains till their violent lit'l minds are blew up the size of a Halloween punkin', and smell like the dickens! The insects could be commanded to smell their evilly-swelled-up heads and would go eat them alive!!!!!! Go, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Grrrr!!!!! And they're off... .</B></div> <div> <B>In the mean time, the "White Psychics" would project protective, shielding prayer-thoughts for the innocent ones, you know, like yous and me. It's kind'a like an insect repellent, around them. Ahhhhh! Hum?</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>(Hey, no holes barred, right? No sympathy, and plenty of empathy!)</B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>I firmly believe in the rights to free speech and creative thought and writing 'n religions and the right to bare arms….with short sleeves and shovels and plows, or, hammers and screw drivers attached, as intended in the Constitution of the United States of American in its original intent - even if those non-violent opinioners are wrong in their not-purple opinions. To hell-o with any o' yurine modern interpretations of MY Constitution beyond the intent intended in the year 1776 or 1777. Hump, now! Anyway! Gall, dang it!!!!!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Well, maybe 1782.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Or…, even better, the intent intended whenever the Bill of Rights went individually into effect, for each one of them bills, not any later than the year each right bill was charged to US here, and collected by the Admin, Legislature, and judicials powers that balance, like a real budget, into a real law based on ethics. Not money or position, and only that fundamental intent in all those years.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Never limp, unethical, so-called modern, unreal and unrealistic versions of intent that are based on max money and position;</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> that are not mental ideals and health of mind, body and land and air and sea and space FIRST; before the SECOND to LAST: medium of exchanges.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Hum, and black holes in outer space? Yes, and them too, if it so comes to be so in future scientific advances.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>So, having understood the opening paragraphs above, and paragraphs 1 and 2 and 3 and 3.i, and 3.i.i, and this number, whatever the gall dang thing is, paragraph, to satisfaction by the oral questions of the board of 12 Ph.D.s of English before assembled, and with no lawyers or legislatures to twist the meanings to their advantages to position and/or pocketbook as well, now,… ?</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>See to it that the decisions are to be left up to the ones who know what to do, and, well, they know what to do. I got faith in them. That's why I voted.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>I voted my conscience, so By the Grace of God of MY choice, I CAN COMPLAIN!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>How about you? Did you vote? If you did, then good.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>If not, then just you shut up your whinnying and sniveling. If you don't like it the way it is, and you didn't vote, you know what? IT'S YOUR FAULT!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>If you had of voted, your way would got elected to office, and it would all be peachy, keen, fine and dandy, and</B></div> <div> <B>I wouldn't have to listen to your snotty nose whinning and a' crying, and it would all be just like you say it would have been IF your side had won!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>At any rate, in MY case when I the call from G-D, they know what to do with ME, God willing and th' crick don't rise, I'll be fine. Why? Because, I have told them. So,…so? So, there!</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>If you have not been told in MY case, then you don't know what to do in MY case - butt out! Talk among yourselves and with others and us about your case. You can consider my case when talking about yours, I would be truly honored. In my case though, they that know, know which physical observations will decide, if they present themselves in my medical conditions at that time.</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Leave them so appointed, to make the decisions as they believe I would want it to be for me = a reasonably, truly-conscience-and-responding-to-you quality of life. Advise them to the pros and cons from my point of view and to hell.o with theirs or yours, see the facts not fanaticizes, the possible and probable, impossible and improbable, but don't make the decisions for those in my charge - even if they ask you too. I'll bring the HELLo to you, too!!! You meddling so-and-so, mind yurine own pile of beans, stinky.

This is absurd, true, but fundamental law of wording requires it so. Fundamental extremes are absurdity in religion or law or mathematics, etceteras. If one must go totally without "artificial" in 2005; then, that = no foods with artificial stuffs = no food, or, equals "empteeo stomacho" and "no glucose in the blood", before we are come to the point of decrepit,… and on medical life supports?</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>By fundamental considerations, before the limits of reasonable un-stupidity,</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> or past the limits of smarteness,</B></div> <bR> <div> <B>(considering smartass-id-ness to be a point not advantaged here, and not truly applicable in the honest intent of this point),(in fact of serious-humor),</B></div> <bR> <div> <B> the conditions resulting against artificial means of support would, on effect, cause: </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"undue psychic stress and material suffering of bodily hunger of any person, or living thing, having "together in the same time and place" a psychic "and" material feelings "and" emotions.

Please protect my own interests in this limited version of "artificial means" of support, and all the rest, albeit it's a "limited" artificial support," that, in my humble opinion, has been disregard in the wording of the original document.
