If the founders could have known future life expectancies, I’m sure they would have put a min and max age for the presidency[/quote]
The young are at fault too, because they apologize for their elders.
My theory is that young men are insecure and need a sense of belonging so they apologize and follow in their dads’ footsteps. It’s like the retired cop dad and his son who killed the black dude. They are the very definition of deplorable. If I had a dad like that, I’d move away and never come back.
The young need to pull themselves up by the bootstrap and repudiate the wrong ways of their elders.[/quote]
A Clearing away of old people, like myself, would do wonders for emotional freedom of the youth. the mere presence of old people inhibits the youth.
i think there may actually be too much oldness in society. We are not wise. we are the sum of repeated mistakes who think we might do it better if we could. but really, we are a bunch of desperate, greedy, clutching old fools.
