    I want to die gallantly
    A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, design a building, conn a ship, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve an equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects - Robert A. Heinlein

    I use to think about dying gallantly a lot. Like not dying in a car accident. Dying by the sword or something, middle earth style. Die to save someone else. Not necessarily in a war. But. I think it is much more human to die in a silly manner. Kurt V. would have you believe that at least.
