How so Moogie? Okay, I understand how *I* could be held accountable, though it would be mighty difficult to prove. Everyone is capable of having a bad day and I've got enough physical conditions and prescription side effects to put most people in a stupor. But how could my psychiatrist or legal team end up culpable?

I almost started a completely new thread to discuss this one line but didn't know what forum to put it in. I realize that it may not be popular in the circles we run in, but I am completely comfortable in what I would call 'deception in the pursuit of truth'. I was there when my ninety-six year old grandfather begged my grandmother to let him go and to unplug the machine. I was there when she unplugged it. Had I been asked, I wouldn't have seen anything.

I'm not going to live long enough for it to become a problem. I'm dying as a result of my disabilities. If they deny me and I have to appeal, it is very unlikely that I'll live long enough to collect the back benefits they owe me by their own rules. If I die before those benefits are awarded, my wife gets nothing. If I am awarded disability, I'll be able to set my wife up in a little place and that'll give me a measure of peace.

I've paid into the system for thirty-five years. I have an attorney, and while we expect a win...well, you know what kind of trouble expectations get us in.

Will do - thanks.
