Forms 2.0: Advanced Health Care Directives
The Terry Schiavo case put living wills in the national spotlight, since then they've faded from most people's consciousness. I takes something that horrific to get us to plan for death and disability, but it's a kindness to yourself and your family.
I think Web 2.0 can help with this. Imagine if there were an electronic repository hosted by the American Red Cross where everyone could post an electronic copy of their advanced health care directive (or living will) and the… Continue

I support hunters and I think hunting plays an important role in curbing animal populations, preserving wilderness, and supporting conservation through permit fees... but I've just never gotten into hunting. I'm more likely to sit at home with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate on a cold day.
And I smiled when I read that about shooting at things. My hubby likes to shoot at things too. Do you hunt in addition to target shooting? I'm always called upon to take photos of the most recent... shot at thing.
