I think it'd take a pretty miserable set of circumstances for a person at the end of their life -not- to wish they had more time.

Wow! You have a more closed mind than the 'believers'. I wish I could be there to watch you make that last wish, considering how much confidence you display now.
From a passive fantasy about my death to an active one in which you are a satisfied observer.
If being close minded is defined as not having a mind that wanders to fairies when considering my mortality you got me..though I don't see how that would be comparable to the faithful..as the difference between us (and apparently between you and I) is that your minds do. You asked, I'm correcting your poor assumptions. I'd suggest you go ahead and get all the canned gripes and complaints out of the way to make room for new ones. I won't mind.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
