Ageism - Your Thoughts

[nevergaveitathought]

in the realm of what to fix first, getting rid of senility or getting rid of a sinner....

i'd rather we were able to fairly investigate and prosecute the old coot and his family for the sale of his offices than some generic discussion of upper age limitations on eligibility for office, as he was and is plenty wily in that regard

we weren't able to do that for bill and hellary either where age wasnt any factor

People keep living longer and longer.

Will that be the next hot button issue after climate change ? Maximum age a person is allowed to live.

It's lucky to be living now...not 500 years ago...not 500 years in the future.

That's a pretty good tidbit you got there.
One way of looking at that, if the guy wanted to go the dictator route, he'd probably croak in the process.

I'm pretty sure the term limit and advanced age thingy was the correct path, but I appreciate the 2nd amendment as a safeguard too.
