MORE EIGHTY-SOMETHING

"what is that elderly man doing walking around in public/ riding the metro system/ shopping at the supernarket/ at the theater/ enjoying life?". being elderly is an embarassment regardless of all the bs about loving old people.

seems like there is a lot of hostility and anger out there against people who have lived too long. but there is also an insistence that your life must be saved and exrtended. there is no easy way out. so on one hand there is resentment on the other hand you are loved. like make up your mind. give me a break.

medicare a true blessing?  i can now spend all my waking hours waiting in doctors' offices with sick people for the opinions of doctors who have trouble putting a swing set together.  yes, although you have very little time left, you can spend it all providing income to the medical community.

actually i can get an up to the minute, fairly accurate medical opinion from the cart boy at the supermarket without any delays, blood tests, biopsies, or bills.

its a mystery to me that there are so many medical corporations on the financial stock exchanges providing profits and growth of income to the company and shareholders while claiming to be so humanitarian?
