In a word, no!
1. I survived the Cuban Missile Crisis.
2. I survived an air base-wide fire involving Cape Cod national Forest.
3. I survived being in a passenger cAr that was ‘t-boned’, with me in the impact point seat.
4. I survived traveling cross country in blizzard conditions in the winter of 1966.
5. I survived being shot at, as a passenger on an east-bound train, as the train traveled through the major cities of the north-central United States, when stupid people were rioting and burning and shooting at anything, in 1968.
6. I survived my last two years of high school, at Sen. Joe Leiberman’s high school alma mater, which included gang fights in the hallways (no guns, yes chains and knives); two separate bombings; three fires; three separate incidents of rape and murder in the building during classes - one was my best friend).
7. I survived three years in SouthEast Asia, including just leaving a coffee shop in Bangkok, where the Thai Muslims demonstrated their ‘peace and love’ by blowing it to shreds.
8. I have been sober since 1988. I did this WITHOUT a nanny program.
9. I have NOT had a reason to even consider a credit card, since paying off my AmEx card in 1988. I did this WITHOUT A ‘DEBT RELIEF’ SHAM.
10. I am a colorectal cancer survivor, with three ‘re-do’ surgeries, since the original in 2000.
11. I am a survivor of Hurricane Katrina. I did not own a car; all my friends had their friends in their cars; and Greyhound stopped at noon on Saturday, 24 hours before the storm struck, so I hunkered down, and got out of town three days after it struck.
12. Every day I live, is another day that ticks off the Communist Lefties in this country, (whom IMHO should be pogromed, yes, I said it!), because I am STILL of SOUND MIND (with even being a ‘Viet Vet’), and am constantly and rationally defending the U.S. Constitution, the basic foundation principles of this country, am NOT a Republican NOR Democrat, exercise MY 2A, do NOT follow Moochelle’s dietary dribble, and doing this all on MY “paid for forty quarters, with my own tax money” Social Security and my veteran’s disability, and shall never bend my knee to a stinking human who thinks that they can me submit. Just remember that fancy hand spin demonstrated by John Wesley Hardin to Wild Bill Hickok!
Long Live The Republic!
Your list is more exciting than mine. But I suspect we all have similar lists if we really stopped to think about it.
