11. Yes but who are the real stupid people |
|
the 91 year old freshman senator or the people who thought it was good to vote for someone that old.
I respect that the elderly still want to be a functioning part of society, I mean I hope that I am when I'm that old. But the chances that a 91 year old person is going to sucessfully serve out their entire elected term is greatly diminished which means two things. First the district that elected him will go wihtout representation for a period of time until they can reschedule another election. And second - that'll cost their tax dollars to run another special election.
I realize that a 40 year old person could drop dead in the middle of their term too - but very less likely than a 91 year old person.

7. The truth is, if you are 91 your ARE one of the disabled. |
|
I don't care how healthy you think you are, you still are socially disabled and usually informationally challenged too.
The fact is everyone who lives long enough WILL become disabled.

9. That is too broad of a brush to paint with. A neighbor of mine just turned 100. |
|
She gets up every morning and makes biscuits from scratch to feed her family who always drops in to check on her. She is sharp as a tack. Turned 100 in February. The whole community came out to her birthday party, and she left afterward to go to Charlotte with one of her kids for a week's vacation.
People who are old are not necessarily disabled, just like liberals don't always do the right thing. You just can't lump anyone into a pile and say they're all alike. Except, of course, rush limpball fans. They're all definitely stupid.
