re: #330 Feline Fearless Leader

It, however, also smacks of a complete lack of empathy for future generations. And I expect one or both have grandchildren that will be affected heavily by this.

This may explain why I have not joined so many seniors in supporting the GOP, that and still having some capacity for rational thought.
I think I might well live another 40 years (to age 105). This could be over-optimistic to say the least, but there is no reason to think it is impossible. It is at least reasonable to plan accordingly. Krauthammer and Will may be glad to get it over with, but I really want to hang around to see what happens. That is, I remain curious and engaged and we know from much research that this kind of outlook is a factor in long life. 3 of my 14 immediate antecedents (parents, grandparents, and great grandparents) lived beyond 100 and my mother is still alive and active at age 86. Beyond that, we don’t know what life extending discoveries and innovations science may provide in the next few decades.
