He stated that people 75 had not contributed to society for 10 years, and that was justification to allow them to die. By that logic, 1/2 of all urban populations should not receive any health care!

Where is the Agreement that HIS family, and neighbors
to ten blocks, and Staff, and their families, to the
same radius, promise before Notaries,
to take the hit at their 75th birthday, FIRST?

“75 is the age. That’s 2/3 of the Senate. Maybe we’re onto something.”

You realize there would have to be exceptions for the ruling class. Some examples, The War Powers Act was meant to apply to R presidents—it has never been used against a D. Limits on carbon dioxide emissions are meant for you and me, not Al Gore.

So the Die at 75 act will only be meant to apply to the middle class, not to important people like congress critters and staffers. I’m certain the young Dr Emanuel will be important enough by the time he’s 75 that his continued life will be deemed essential for the continuation of the ruling class.

I always admired Jack Lalanne. I followed his early TV program and learned a lot about fitness from him.

Jack LaLanne Biography

Inventor, Television Personality, Athlete (1914–2011)

Television personality, fitness pioneer and inventor Francois Henri LaLanne, better known as Jack LaLanne, was born on September 26, 1914, in San Francisco, California. Because of his strength and endurance, even in his 90s, LaLanne was often referred to as the "godfather of fitness." He was the first to open a health club in the United States and to have an exercise show on television.
