Good points. Can anyone imagine what it would be like to drown or burn alive? Not good thoughts, at all.

Hey, Bushido man, its funny that you should use those two scenarios......unless I die in my sleep or die in the pursuit of an honorable warrior's death, I don't want to go by fire or in a car accident....its too terrible to think about.
Drowning, however, you don't feel anything but the panic of not being able to breath. Of the two you chose to type out, I prefer drowning.
I am not, however, afraid to go to the here-after. I am one who actually looks forward to that futuristic part of life's journey.

Thank you, like I said I borrowed the phrase from a fellow range officer and swat guy. Still it pretty much sums up the way I feel. I explain it to all the new guys I train at the dpt.
The respone I usually get from the guys that work with me is that considering how much ammo i usually have, that 's gonna be a really bad day  . |

And that's the major rub, I think.
We all pay the piper. It just depends on when the bill comes due.
