As controversial as Kevorkian was, he was the perfect guy for his cause. A Doctor, no family for the media/loons to harass, and retired. I cannot tell you the level of umbrage I’ve taken in my family life for siding with Dr. Death and his cause. One day, many generations from now, he will be hailed a hero for taking the side of the terminally ill instead of the f’n lunatics bible thumpers. RIP, Jack. ---

> [@Shirley\_Ujest](#): > > As controversial as Kevorkian was, he was the perfect guy for his cause. A Doctor, no family for the media/loons to harass, and retired. Oddly enough, I always thought he was the worst for the cause. His obsession with death, which you can see in his artwork and hear about in his interviews, actually always made him sound morbid to me. I think a better spokesperson would have been a less…odd person. ---

My son spotted the death mobile as we pulled in. I never use a drive in window, so we went inside and he was at the counter.He talked to us and anyone else who wanted to meet him. He was polite and soft spoken. He was a guy who put his beliefs and himself on trial. The Oakland Co. prosecutor was pandering to the righties when he spend tons of tax money and years of effort to get him.
