My husband used to count on me being his memory. Now that I’m experiencing more memory loss than he, surprisingly, he’s enjoying it. Probably because I told him I can’t argue with him as much, when I can’t count on my memory any more! He prayed that I would enjoy my insanity, and I can tell he’s having great fun with it too!
Should we believe what Stephen Hawkings told about the astriod or whatever that spelling word that will hit our planet, Earth from outerspace??? I still doubted what he said. I could not shake my mind about his comment. Crazy talk, eh!
marvee….. This is true only as lomg as the listener says nothing. If they do, while you’re talking it can send you off on a side track, and you forget where you were?
The problem with the editorial, of course, is that Dr. Hawking, the author of “A Brief History of Time,” is very much a Briton — born in Oxford and currently a professor at the University of Cambridge.
And
Dr. Hawking — who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom at the White House on Wednesday — responded to the editorial this week, telling The Guardian newspaper, “I wouldn’t be here today if it were not for the N.H.S. I have received a large amount of high-quality treatment without which I would not have survived.”
You should do a wee bit of research before you put your confidence in such lame sources.
It only took a wee Google to find the article.

Investors’ Business Daily Editorial, 31 August 2009 on the US healthcare bill:
People such as scientist Stephen Hawking wouldn’t have a chance in the U.K., where the National Health Service would say the life of this brilliant man, because of his physical handicaps, is essentially worthless.
@poohbear
His source is sound, it even says editorial. So it isn’t what Hawking thought, but someone at that paper. They later tried to cover their tracks. wiki I read it on, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Investor%27sBusinessDaily
That being said, its good to see that you listed the opinions of “that really, really smart guy in the wheelchair”, as Earl put it. :)

Conversations between two old people make no sense to outsiders, but we know exactly what we’re talking about.

The following link refutes your foolish quote utterly.

True tamron, and I did not think that they were claiming to represent Hawking’s thoughts.
The editorial was clearly a libelous claim about one supposedly possible outcome of England’s N.H.S.
runar thought he was making a valid point about all forms of national health care.
I Googled the quote and came up with my link.
Runar could not even take the time and effort to do the same. He was too busy thinking he was proving something.
BTW Your link does not seem complete for me. I get an error.
