his life reminds me of a description of a bureaucrat...(I paraphrase)...no woman would mourn him, no child remember his loving care. No sick person would bless him for his compassion, no poor person give him thanks for his help. He would die alone and unmourned...

In the book, the bureaucrat became involved with life and was mourned at the end, because he opened himself to others...

The end of the culture of death is death. One of the early "right to die" cases was a woman with cerebral palsy...who was given the "right" to starve herself, but changed her mind and was still living the last I heard...but her lawyer has since committed suicide...

The difference was made by physicians who treated her medical problems, arranged for her to live independently, and encouraged her.

But this didn't stop Ed Bradley of 60 minutes from telling her that her "care" cost the taxpayers $50 000 a year, and then asking aggressively to justify why she changed her mind.

The mercy of God covers all tormented souls, so God have mercy on Mr. Thompson...but one feels a long healing in Purgatory to atone the damage he did to all the lives of those influenced by his writings to take drugs, eschew responsibility, and live "free"...
