How To Have Fun & Purpose In Your Old Age

The new health care bill that is being debated includes many promises. All of them expensive. One of the ways to keep the costs under control is to ration medical care to the aged. This includes counseling older folks about ending their lives when they are chronically ill. There is also the provision that precludes aged, sick people from paying for their own life sustaining procedures. This tantamont to a death sentence issued by the government. 

How much of all this talk and proposals are real or taken out of context is unknown to me at this time. But if the government really means to get proactive about eliminating old people from health care. Then "old age"has opened up some new and exciting vistas that will certainly shake off boredom.

Forget the new set of golf clubs or the extra martini. It's time for a gun and target practice.
