At what price?

My wife has a congenital lung defect that leaves her with chronic lung illnesses and infections: tuberculosis, pneumonia. She has raised three children and one husband into productive members of society – or in terms you might better appreciate – gears in the economic engine that deliver your tax breaks and a good restaurant table.

Now, because you’ve had to skip a meal and a few comforts, you advocate for her benign extermination. Even if you yourself volunteer to throw your own parents, spouse or children into that good night, it’s nothing like the normal I want back. However, your table is ready sir. Heather Scott will be your server and here is Matt Shea to take you to seat you. Don’t mind those people coughing. They will die soon and no longer disturb you. May I say the Soylent Green is excellent tonight.
