(19,867 posts)one of my Mom's friends had a '57 Chevy Bel Air golf cart that was really great looking. A lot of those old folk sink some big bucks into customizing their golf carts.

(2,763 posts)it could be because the loyal dems, being in the minority, are highly motivated to seek out sympathetic company.

(10,450 posts)I was surprised to learn how active they are because there's little publicity about them.

Because form the article and interviews, there are a lot of *ahem* there

(10,450 posts)going on there too. With the age of the people, the booze, and some bias already built into their viewpoints, they sometimes can become pretty obnoxious. I've seen many older people, even without the drinking, get more narrow-minded as they age, or their quirks become much more pronounced. I'm an exception, of course.

(19,867 posts)would act their age and stop this childish crap. Now The Villages Chapter of The John Birch Society will do everything in their power to "one-up" Democratic golf carters next week and a very slow war will break out. Divisions of "walker warriors" will came damned close to drawing blood before this is over, you watch. This is mostly
but I'm really tired of hearing about 'The Villages'. By the way, I'm 70, so no shade about "dissing old people" is needed.

I actually looked into living there when I retired. The sales agent allowed me to drive around in.........you guessed it, a golf cart, and explore on my own. By the time I was done I told her I wouldn't live there for all the tea in China. There are some very uptight, angry people in that place!
