Having the presidency, majorities in both houses, and majorities in the national governorships is something that Ted Kennedy would probably be glad to have a seizure in exchange for.

I'm proud to say, by the way, that I voted for Ted Kennedy in 2004 when he was up for reelection last time. I wonder what God has in store for me.

But you can take my word for it, Socrates, that when you are confronted by the thought of your own death, you are visited by fear and anxiety about things which never troubled you before. The stories told about what happens in Hades, that anyone who is unjust here will have to pay for it there -stories you once laughed at- begin to trouble your mind. You wonder if they may be true. You start seeing that world for yourself, either through the infirmity of old age, or because you are already in some way closer to it. Suddenly you are full of suspicion and fear; you start calculating and considering whether you've done anyone any sort of injustice. And if you find many acts of injustice in your own life, you keep waking in a panic in the middle of the night, the way children do. You live in a state of apprehension.
