Thanks for posting this. I, too, salute Dr. Kevorkian. While not all of his tactics may have been admirable, he fought for our freedom to choose at great personal cost. What could be more American than that?

No problem; glad you could appreciate.

True, he was a bit of an eccentric and fanatical at times; but cared for and showed compassion for his patients in it's truest form; never sold-out to big pharmaceutical companies - he kept medicine patient driven, not business driven.

He was definitely a unique individual.
