that the seniors are fountains of information, experience, etc. Some of these very same people seem to forget that seniors also have probably the most wealth of any class (being that we worked the longest, etc. already).

Perhaps before some people mouth off what a burden seniors are to society (in only their opinion), perhaps
maybe they should more closely at senior's contributions to our society and country.

We are your grandfathers, grandmothers, the old cranky neighbor next door, the white haired lady shopping at the 5 and 10 cent store, elderly parents, etc.

I guarantee you that all of us want to live forever (realistically this won't happen of course) and enjoy life to the fullest. No one has the right to determine who and who does not live.

The idiots that push forward suggestions of elderly euthanasia, I suspect, didn't come up with the suggestion of euthanasia, with their grandparents or parents in the room in the same room.

Isn't rump in his 70s already and is already starting to lose his mind? At what point should he be considered to be one of these seniors whose time it is, to go (voluntarily)?
