    Mitt Romney VS President Obama

    In the scheme of history, 250 years is a close cry. Today's world order did not spontaneously arrive on the scene: it's inherited from the institutions and events of the past. Washington and Jefferson are two examples of people who lived and participated in a time and place shaped through...

    Mitt Romney VS President Obama

    Agree with most all of this. It's a not-so pleasant state at the national level in American politics, with the amount of corporate influence. And yet the wealthy have always had some influence at the national level, starting with the Revolution...Washington and Jefferson, for example, were not...

    Of course the U.S. already has socialized medicine--medicare and medicaid, which cover some, but not all, of the fringes. From one point of view ObamaCare proposes to reduce the fringes.

    Do I die before I get old?

    So there's hope for the post-50 crowd. Good to know... I would argue if someone depends on someone else for some source of income or power, etc, that someone else's perception (whether it is impertinent, misinformed, or, as Brian says, stupid) may influence that someone's source of income or...

    Do I die before I get old?

    Someone once told me every one over 50 may as well cash in their chips...or at least move out of the work place. If I were infirm and unhappy and of little to no use, I think I would prefer to go gently into the night...using some sort of sleeping pill concoction, perhaps. If time heals all...
