“While the visible victims may draw the headlines and attract indignant protests from so-called "pro-life" organizations, the invisible victims are people like you and me who will suffer from diseases that are never cured because funds are being poured down a healthcare sieve in order to maintain permanently-unconscious bodies on complex and costly forms of life support.” PeopleMayBodyFormSufferingOrderSupportLike YouDiseaseDrawsOrganizationVictimComplexesInvisibleVisibleUnconsciousProtestFundHealthcareHeadlinesPro LifeIndignant Author:Jacob M.

“I think it's the strange irony that we make all these life choices before we're 40, because really we shouldn't make any until we're 40.

“I was never pop-music taken seriously when I was taught. But some people who agree with you will like your music, and some who don't agree with you will like your music.

They don't - or at least they feel that they shouldn't - want other people to suffer. They want a good life for them and their own.” PeopleThinkingSufferingValuesSpeakTakenFashionLike YouAgreeGood Life Author:Nellie McKay
