Absolute PowerHave you ever been put in a position of power? Did you become a rabid dictator, or did you completely arse it up and end up publicly humiliated? We demand you tell us your stories.
Thanks to The Supreme Crow for the suggestion

The thing that seems most horrible to me about itis that you're bound to be aware of it in the early stages, as it encroaches, and you can watch your mind going. Even the terminally demented do have moments of clarity, sometimes enough to recognise that life is now totally alien to them. :S

I once worked with people with advanced AlzheimersAlthough I had no way of knowing, I always felt that these people were all there, just 'locked out' from the ROTW somehow.
As we get older, we are increasingly encouraged by life to 'let go' of all sorts of things. I hope, by the time I'm 150 or so, I feel ready to let go, and see what happen's next.
Death to me doesn't mean a sudden abrupt halt to my personality, similar to a light bulb being switched off. Nothing in the universe (except a light bulb) does that, so why should I?
