To: O.C. - Old Cracker
"But then we have an entire nation of old boys who chose never to grow up."

Guilty. I myself am about 14 years old at heart, though I am now 41. This is not a bad thing, it's an American thing. It's what made Dubya land a jet on an aircraft carrier and it's what made his father jump out of an airplane when he was 80+ years old. It is the mindset which made America what it is today.

A nation of Forty-Somethings who accept age as a hurdle to living life, will not survive even the easiest challenges it encounters.

Talking about "pussy" and landing a jet on an aircraft carrier don't quite balance out. One speaks to your character, or the lack thereof, and the other to your level of self-confidence. I'll leave it to you to decide which of these things belong together.

Your family has my sympathy that you have opted out of growing up. Peter Pan would be proud though.
