Now if they just had a box labeled "straight ticket whitey", that would be a lot easier.
Plus, correct me if I'm wrong, or exaggerating, but in Oregon you can euthanize the octagenerians once they've outlived their utility.

Yeah, Renard, you're wrong.
Oregonians can leave any time they want if they can document that they have a terminal illness which would cause them to suffer, but euthanazia is not allowed any more than in other states. Oregon has voted on this issue several times and has won in court against the Federal Gov't . About 2/3 of the population has passed this bill and it is the will of the people. Only a few people have actually taken advantage of it, and they were well policed to assure that there was no abusive misuse of the system. Basically, if someone wants to die they can do so, but they have to prove their case.
People from out of state can't use the Right to Die in Oregon.
There is a similar law in The Netherlands, and it has not been abused, either, although several organizations who wish to interfere with other people's lives have made claims that it was misused.
