VOLUNTEER: Your rights are not being violated! You're living in a dream world, you're living in a world of myth. Government can't violate your right to freedom of movement, because without government, you wouldn't have any freedom of movement!

RUSTIC RETIREMENT: Being a sort of paranoid old soul, the old gal got it into her head that if she signed off on an agreement like that, Brookline Biomedical might try to hasten her death in some way, just so they could get their hands on her biomedical assets. That's the kind of stuff that comes into an old woman's head when she lives alone and has no one to talk to and nothing to do at night except read murder mysteries or watch them on tv.
