Maybe at their age they have successfully handled life. Or... maybe most of all... they don't need some bluenose - trying to run everybody's life from cradle to grave - telling them everything thing they can and cannot do.
"Hey, you successful, retired geriatrics. I got a list of shit you better be doin' so's you don't travel outside the reality lane!"
Indeed. Nobody should tell them what to do, nor do they need to listen to anybody.
Just that even for retired people there really are other joys in life, than sitting and being stoned.
But of course it’s everyone’s personal choice.
