regardless of orientation, and generally proudly so. We actually have a fair number around here in GA. If old they're likely to resent that tax breaks for parents raising children aren't available to them. If young, hearing aids are worthless to them and proof that we don't care about people like them. A neighbor with MS knows that everyone receiving entitlements is a shiftless moocher, except people with MS, who are being shortchanged.

Miserable schmucks, but imo they deserve themselves.
