I rode my bicycle to work every day for 5 years (12 months a year) in Denver where temperature routinely got below 0F (-17C) in the winter. On January 27, 2017, I was riding my bicycle home from work when a car turned in front me. I was doing about 30 MPH (48 KPH) when I hit the side of the first car only to be run over by a second car as I was on the ground. As a result of the collisions I suffered a broken neck, a spinal cord injury classified as a C4 complete, a broken rib, and two strokes. I spent 32 days in the ICU, 3 months at Craig rehabilitation Hospital, I needed my gallbladder removed, had another brief stint in the hospital for a blood clot (PE) in my lungs. I'm now a quadriplegic but first responders and doctors all agree that I would have died if I was not wearing a helmet. Believe me, being in this condition sucks but it is way better than being dead.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
