The Idiots Guide to VW Repair also had it right: “Think of yourself as a human sacrifice strapped to the front of your VW minivan, hurtling towards your death. Because when you drive a VW minivan, that is what you are, and that is what you are doing.” I paraphrase, but having learned to drive on a stick shift VW minivan, it is absolutely correct.
A good way to think about life in general, that is.
If you read the context of the quote, its been since the 60’s that a person has died of old age. State and Federal law require a reason for death. Unless an autopsy has peen performed, most Docs say that you have died of cardiac arrest (heart stopped), because no matter the cause your officially dead when your heart stops.
I have determined that the leading cause of death is use of toilet paper. I’d bet 99% of the people that die have used toilet paper – or some toilet paper substitute – at some time in their life. Shouldn’t we do something?

We need to throw taxpayer dollars at this problem, pronto. Maybe create a new cabinet-level agency.

The protagonist in the book Aztec said it best.
“on (this) day, I was born and began my dying.”
