I just took it for granted that everyone experienced life a lot like me.
Remember when your were 21? And how back then 50 year old people looked
like they had one foot in the grave? How 60 year old people looked as
if they were preserved in formaldehyde? And, were just about as
interesting to chat with as window drapes?

Now that you are old--suddenly you got blind?

I am 55 and people even 65 are about as interesting as rocks--there is
that kind of difference which occurred in the 60's and has been
occurring ever since...

Get real--the only reason some old geezer type will have a younger woman
on his arm is for the money....

You can extrapolate on that to figure out how it applies here at amateur
radio...

Hello, John

Even worse is an old guy hanging out with kids. Did you see where that guy
is suspected of many 10s of thousands of cases of abuse?

Nah, gimme a few acres in the Northwest with a lake or stream nearby and a
fishing pole.

I fear that this country has expanded beyond its' capability of supporting
its' own population (or, rather, will shortly). We consume 1/4 of the
world's oil output whilst the administration continues tax breaks for SUVs
over 3 tons. To heck with the cost of gas; cut welfare, Medicare, Medicaid,
education, social security, the VA ....

Just make sure the very wealthy continue to pay *less* percentage than folks
making 80 to 100 grand per year.

I'd give it a few more years before many morons will understand what has
been happening. Then there will be a revolution at the polls.

Unfortunately, if another party wins by too high a margin, they may also
feel they can play loose and free (as the Republicans currently are doing).

What we need are some moderates. Very hard to find.
