Eighty is the new 60

10. Thank you!

Well said and so true. Let's stop the myth that aging is somehow different now than it used to be. It sets people up to believe that they will be the same as they were when they were 50. I think it's much more emotionally healthy to be realistic about the aging process. The media likes to find that one person who can still do cartwheels at 80 and show it on TV, but that isn't realistic. There are always exceptions to the rule in most cases, but they are exceptions and rare.

However, when it comes to the mind, I know quite a few people in their 70's and 80's whose mind is as sharp as ever even though their bodies are weaker. I want my President to be able to form a coherent sentence, not word salad like you-know-who.
