Maybe being 50 years old isn't enough, but maybe being 50 years old with arrhythmia, high blood pressure, significant moribid obesity and lousy cholesterol numbers is enough.

LOL! That's at least a quarter of the population over 50. Are you under 30?

I am far from being under thirty. Just celebrated the nineteenth anniversay of my 39th birthday a few weeks ago. Cholestrol numbers intractably bad, not obese, low body fat, BP okay, pulse maybe 76, except when I'm on FreeRepublic. Don't drive and Freep.

It's funny, I'm sitting here thinking about "our addiction to oil" and contemplating the highways with a quarter of those over 50 not being allowed to drive, and I'm liking it!
