1. How can I remember what
you were going to say? I'm still trying to figure out why I hurried into this room.

2. That's okay, nothing wrong with being senile,

as long as you happen to be old, and don't happen to be Commander-in-Chief. It could happen to anyone, so people shouldn't be so quick to criticize. Well, senility could happen to anyone--being Commander-in-Chief is less common.

So is it okay to criticize somebody who appears to be senile but doesn't appear to be very old? Or would that make us just as bad as they are?

3. My mother always told me..
but for the grace of God, there go I, so I try to be tolerant and not criticize.

4. Your mother's wisdom is commendable.

My father always told me that the freedom of other people stops where my chin begins.

So, while it might not be good to criticize somebody who endangers my freedom, my life, or my country, I believe it is perfectly okay to stomp all over them.

But I wouldn't want to stray off topic.

Uh, what was the topic?

5. Sorry, I keep forgetting

to keep this topic kicked.

Okay, so senility does have some drawbacks, but it is something close to my heart so I feel like defending it.

7. That's another one my mother
used to say..my rights end at some else's nose..and vice versa. Taught my 3 sons and 1 daughter what my mother taught me. The boys were a little vague about the rights one though when they were growing up.
