He woke up, that's pretty freakin' enlightening to me. At least with pain you know you're still alive.

no, think about the medical bills that WE have had to pay in the last 19 years for him...
but IMHO, it beats most of the crap government spends money on.

In retrospect, it was all downhill from here. RIP, CEG.

Really,
It must be like waking up in a foreign land. Let's see if I can come up with 10:
Things he probably didn't see before the coma:
1. The Internet
2. Satellite TV
3. Speed limits above 55MPH (ok he may have seen them, but he wasn't driving at the time)
4. All new cars are fuel injected
5. Probably didn't see many minivans
6. SUV's were still used by people who drove off road
7. Two space shuttle disasters
8. Domestic Terrorism (OKC and twice at WTC)
9. Stealth Aircraft
10. Cell Phones for everyone who has a pulse.
TB
Don't forget:
The rise and fall of New Coke.
Crystal Pepsi.
The McDLT.
The Cabbage Patch Kids craze.
Jack In The Box --> Monterey Jack's --> Jack In The Box
Leaded gasoline.
Volkswagen was an economy car company.
Back To The Future I, II and III
Missed the last two Indiana Jones movies.

Okay, I'll give you that, he woke up, that is pretty freakin' amazing. I'm talking about quality of life in that situation. That's all. Live in pain, yeah, that sounds like a blast to me...

I agree. I'd rather see us spend millions of tax dollars to save a life, then spend millions to make a missle for "national defense".
