Jump To Comment: 1if you want to avoid such an end-
you could try driving dangerously,
armed robbery of post offices,
smoking cigarettes,
drinking alcohol excessively,
sharing needles with as many other drug user as possible.
do not just take loads of crystal meth it'll give you alzhemiers.
we all want to avoid alzhemiers, which is why as members of the economic underclass we must
do our best to break the laws which would ensure our long life ending in incontinence in a state home by dying before PENSIONS.
or else we ought support stem cell search and embryonic experimentation in the vague hope that by the time our brains are turning to mush, therapy will have got past the R&D stage and be made freely available to poorer people who didn't drive dangerously enough, never tried robbing a post office or getting on a list, smoked cigarettes, turned to the dhrink, spiked themselves with hiv but did do ice.
(I would have loved to have written this in alexandrines but I'm more a blank verse man myself)
