<< But truth be told, Reagan has been dead for some time.>>

I find it somewhat interesting about humans and hope. An old guy is 98, half his heart and 80% of his lungs gone and the rest of his body full of cancer. But as long as the machine goes blip blip blip, the family has hope the guy will be carving the turkey next Thanksgiving. Death ends that hope.

That being said, my father had a split in his aorta when he was 76 in September '83. Flew him to Peoria. The big deal heart surgeon said put him in an ambulance and send him back to Bloomington, wouldn't even admit him to the hospital. It would have screwed up his win loss record. Local MD called over and had him admitted, ordered medication to lower his blood pressure. My dad not only carved the turkey but he had taken a 5 mile walk.
