He's been on deaths door for awhile now and still won't disclose why he cried when he was briefed by people in the know about UFO's within the us gov.

The worst thing about witnessing death is praying that the person you love will die quicker.
And that's all I have to say about that.

Just went through this with my mom. Had a family member ( charismatic Christian) go so far as to accuse my brother and me of killing her by giving her the recommended pain management.
I have no guilt, even if it sped up the dying process at the end. it was time.

My father had a Do not Resuscitate directive, of his own choosing. I found out that this does not apply to EMS support. He had had dementia for 4 or 5 years, congestive heart failure and then broke his hip. After surgery he is sent him to nursing home for "rehab" which in his mental state ain't happening. 2 days later we get a call that the ambulance is bringing him to ER, 5 minutes away. They kept him in the ambulance for 30-45 minutes trying to bring him back. My poor Mom and I waited for about 2 hours before a Dr. comes to ask my mother if she wants him taken off of the ventilator. Why did she have to make that decision? She wants to see him first, so did I, no one can convince me that he was alive, all they were doing was pushing air into his lungs.
I will never forget my mother's anguish at having to make a decision that he had already made. The hospital did not honor his DNR.
I could on but in certain situations hospice is much more humane choice than forcing people to stay alive with endless medications, invasive procedures and just in general making their life more uncomfortable.

What kind of jerk starts something like that? I imagine Pres. Carter still has family living. Lowlife.

This kind of stuff happens pretty frequently. Some rumored cebrity death happens every week pretty much. Some people have nothing better to do. I don't get it either, but that's what they do.
 
Couple more weeks to go
=====================
Former president Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday is on 1 October. His supporters didn’t want to wait that long to throw a party.

A parade of Georgia luminaries on Tuesday lit up the venerable Fox Theater on Peachtree Street. In a city that boasts new, swanky modern glass and steel venues like the Cobb Energy performing arts center or the Eastern befitting the city’s rising prominence, organizers chose Atlanta’s oldest concert hall to celebrate Carter’s centennial.

Jimmy Carter is four years older than the Fox Theater.

“Not everyone gets 100 years,” said Jason Carter, the former president’s grandson and 2014 nominee for governor of Georgia. “But when someone does and uses that time to good, it’s worth celebrating.”

The event was almost entirely devoid of maudlin sentiment. Video testimonials by Jon Stewart, Bob Dylan and others, were splashed across a screen, interspersed by images of famous musicians of the period visiting the White House.……..

Stars come out in Atlanta to celebrate Jimmy Carter’s 100th birthday

Jimmy Carter doesn’t turn 100 until 1 October, but the red carpet was nevertheless rolled out at the Fox Theater to pay homage to America’s oldest living former president
