Trivial side-note to the Schiavo case ....this, like all major news events,  
has spawned a new catch-phrase -- "judicial homicide"....<<The parents of  
Terri Schiavo say an appeals court ruling against re-inserting her feeding tube 
 
is "judicial homicide." >>

As  someone planning for retirement, I can't separate the two. Notice how 
online  retirement planning tools ask you two basic questions: How long do 
you  expect to live and how much will it cost to do what you want to do after 
you  retire? I've been plugging in death at age 100 and am carefully 
considering  what will constitute the good retired life. Quantity & quality. 
I want  'em  both.
