Yeah, but I’ve never cared what they think.

And lived to the rope age of 85.

Hypocrite, of course he was a Democrat.

We have definitely lost the wisdom of the elderly in our society. I blame Social Security, mostly. It was “the great divorce” that most wanted - the seniors to live happy and free, and the young to be rid of their elders.

Now, we have six-year-olds going through puberty. The “extended family” has re-emerged in a twisted fashion as the young parasitize off of their parents, living under their roof long after they are already reproducing.

I am not sure that “blame” is particularly helpful, but the elderly should have known better.

We’d be a lot better off if more citizens had that attitude!

In fact, it was Colorado's governor, Dick Lamm, who shortly later proclaimed to senior citizens, "We've got a duty to die and get out of the way…"

Well, what are you waiting for?

Lead by example.

You’re not old until you are old. But it is a stubborn fact that humanity does strive for a long life if there is any joy, however unobservable by others, still glowing in their heart.

Death due to depression is much more real than thought by many. As long as you can joyously wake up and anticipate what the day shall bring, you shall continue to wake up, until such time as you make peace with the failing systems. Your body knows its limits, but it shall obey your will in every matter.

I have a colleague who is a Principle Engineer and he is 87. He started his career in the mid 1950s.

English brings a tear or is that tearing of logic?Your colleague may be principled but as a position it is a principle to use the proper word of principal. When there are too many ways to spell a word pronounced the same, then there is a mongrel language to blame!

Cherry picked interviews are a poor basis for policy decisions regarding the fundamental right to life.

Maybe it’s time for something like Robert Heinlein’s “Committee for Aesthetic Deletions”?

But not for senior citizens in general but for NWO monsters like Ms. Lagarde and her ilk?

Just asking for a friend...

I’ve always told my wife that Christine Lagarde looks like a character straight out of a James Bond movie. A female Ernst Stavro Bloefeld.

“Nobody’s stopping this guy from shooting himself.”

Nah, he’s a Democrat from Colorado; to him, guns are so...icky. Guys like him will swallow a jar of Quaaludes.

“He is more productive than 99% of 20 somethings these days.”

Having seen some 20-somethings, I can certainly believe it.

Overkill. But, if he’s a lousy shot, it’ll do the trick.

“It explained, “Forty plus years ago when they allowed abortion to kill the most innocent among us, many people said it would eventually end up to terminating the elderly as well. There were lots of handwaving and dismissal of that argument. However, 40 plus years on, we see that that is exactly what they are planning on doing.””

And not just the elderly but the youngest ones as well. Even infanticide is being promoted in some circles.

It’s a very steep slippery slope.
