<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 1647622, member: 4626&quot;]Death pools I&#039;ll admit I find pretty sick.&nbsp; But contemplating whether a given person who&#039;s lived more than a decade past average life expectancy will die soon I don&#039;t see as any more &quot;evil&quot; than contemplating whether or not it&#039;s going to snow tomorrow.&nbsp; Wondering about the future is perfectly normal.&nbsp; Death is perfectly normal.&nbsp; So what&#039;s so &quot;evil&quot; about wondering about death in the future?&nbsp; We&#039;re all going to go some time; life is a terminal event.&nbsp; Refusing to contemplate it seems more disturbing than not, in my opinion; it just gives death a forbidden mystique it does not deserve.</p><p><br /></p><p>P.S.&nbsp; Fun fact, the 150th anniversary of independence commemorative in 1926 featured Calvin Coolidge while he was still alive.&nbsp; Don&#039;t know why the coin legislation is so insistent on the presidents being dead first in the first place, but there you go, nobody ever accused Congress of making sense (if you think even discussing such a thing is macabre you should blame the writers of the legislation that made the death prerequisite in the first place).&nbsp; Thomas Kilby and Eunice Schriver were also both honored on commem. coins while still alive.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
