    A hospice patient in the future may ask for a soothing bottle of seltzer water.

    A dying idea, or movement, or any fixed ideology will die at the right moment.

    A fact of Life. As true as taxes. A human 'kicks a bucket' or a bubble burst. OY!

    And then what?

    No befuddlement. no wool.

    Cheers. Drink Goat milk and say `a goo.
