You are correct we've added years to life but not life to years in most cases. I don't measure a life in years lived. But in how you lived those years.

Sounds like we both share the same (Self-Superior?) Disappointment in Most of our Fellow"Men"...
Yes, "Life" is (supposed to be?) a Participatory Sport...
TV, on your FAT Ass, doesn't count...
(Reading DOES : )

In my opinion, Americans are THE Fattest, Shallowest Citizens on THE Planet...
Fattest is an objective Fact... Shallowest a little harder to Prove...
How about averaging 4 hours of TV a day?
How about 6 hours a day on weekends?
Research suggest Brain DAMAGE!!
Hilarious...

How about 85% of America lives Paycheck-to-Paycheck, with
Zero savings in the bank and, an average of
$8,000 in debt, not counting their
Mortgage?

We have a Bill of Rights, with the GR8 2nd Amendment for
"Men" Scared Shitless of Their Own Shadow and, who
Cannot walk down the street without both of their
Hands tucked INSECURELY in their
Levis' Front Pockets...

NOTHING like an INSECURE "Man" with a GUN in his Hand,
Fresh out of his front pockets, in a burst of --
All of a sudden I am NOT a Coward!!
What America needs is a...
Bill of Responsibility...
Meanwhile...
(Granny was beating off the Indians single-handedly? : )
When you visit other Countries in the
REAL WORLD, the Ugly American is
Advised to pretend --
I am a Canadian...

Like pretending you are a
Jamaican "Boy,", in the
Deep South... Get the
BOY Right!

WOW, I don't think I meant all that, you obviously have very strong opinions and everyone has the right to believe what they want. I try to live and let live if I can.

 

[bryanchurch06]

So live your life that the fear of death can never enter your heart.
Trouble no one about their religion; respect others in their view, and
Demand that they respect yours. Love your life, perfect your life,
Beautify all things in your life. Seek to make your life long and
Its purpose in the service of your people.

Prepare a noble death song for the day when you go over the great divide.
Always give a word or a sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend,
Even a stranger, when in a lonely place. Show respect to all people and
Bow to none. When you arise in the morning, give thanks for the food and
For the joy of living. If you see no reason for giving thanks,
The fault lies only in yourself. Abuse no one and nothing,
For abuse turns the wise ones to fools and robs the spirit of its vision.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts
Are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes
They weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again
In a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I think this was what i meant. Chief Tecumseh

That old saw about "everyone has the right to believe what they want" is code for -- I disagree...
You wrote -- "You are correct we've added years to life but not life to years in most cases."
You just condemned "most" people... Hardly "live and let live"...

And "Anybody can get the Facts... Straight... It takes Guts to have an Opinion"...

And if you can defend your Opinion with Facts, Opinion = Fact...

Instead, I live in a Country where any News that is
Disagreed With, or Inconvenient is...
Fake News...

A Country where a Fucking High School Dropout
THINKS That he, all of a sudden, knows
More about Epidemiology than
Dr Anthony Faucci...

A Country where that TextBook AssHole's
Children can end up deprived of
Vaccination!! Forgetting that
Polio is a Goner for his
Children... And,
SmallPox...

No One has a "Right" to an Opinion they
Can Not Begin to
Defend...

Like "God said So & So" or
"Jesus loves me"...

Laughable
FICTION

ps - FACT -- Half of America is
Below MEDIAN IQ/EQ, by
Definition

At this point I shall leave you to your opinion. Best wishes on your future endeavors.

I think this was what i meant. Chief Tecumseh

I was the Math and Science Tutor of Native American Children at the
Bear River ... Rancheria, in Loleta, California...

I have the Highest Respect for Native Americans, based on
LILA, by Robert Pirsig, who wrote ZEN AND THE ART...
ZEN AND THE ART... was extremely popular and it...
Raises the Question -- What ("the Hell") is Quality?
What is Morality? What is Ethical?

No surprise, in Shallowest America, only scant
Few have read LILA, which is Pirsig's
ANSWER to THE Question AND
My Favorite Book in
THE World...

Pirsig points out, e.g., that the concept of
"Rugged Individualism," which
America claims, was...
Robbed from the
Indigenous...
HOWEVER
In Chief Tecumseh's Fine Words,
I see the word...
DEMAND

NO Man has the Right to
DEMAND

Chief Seattle got
Humility
Right...
