Sez you.

I hope you don't mind yer tax dollars being spent --by the billions!
on caring and warehousing these super seniors. The ones that can't
care for themselves or pay for themselves, etc. Many live beyond what
their minds can deal with and they must be cared for, often by younger
families that haven't the finacial resrources to bear such a huge
burden. Many super seniors don't want to survive the pain and
constant discomfort that is old age. I'm not so old I regret living
this long, but I've finally reached that point in time where I relate
to the adage, "Old age isn't for wimps!"
