It’s not just the young kids it’s the old people at The Villages, Florida! My sister lives there and she tells me a lot of people aren’t paying any attention to it saying stuff like if god wants them to get it they will get it.— KateATX (@minnnyme) March 19, 2020
I agree with Rick Wilson (with tongue planted in cheek). Those kids are too stupid to vote; or ev n to make their own decisions. But I also understand the attitude of "the old people at The Villages, Florida." At some point in old age you learn that life is too short and worrying about what's finally going to kill you ain't worth the effort. My mother was such a fragile diabetic that in the last three years of her life she would need six to eight weeks of recovery if she got off her four times a day insulin schedule by just one injection, or even by a few hours. She also had congenital heart failure, stage IV kidney failure (never quite bad enough for dialysis, which would certainly have killed her) and broke her hip at age 89.
She died of pneumonia 2 weeks before her 91st birthday. She didn't even care that she had pneumonia. She was tired of being sick (pneumonia didn't count), and while she didn't embrace death, she knew it had to come. If God wanted her, she knew God would take her. She knew her life was far shorter than it was longer.
It's not necessarily as morbid a thought as it might seem.
Try telling the Bernie Bots that their strategy of getting out the youngest, most inexperienced and, frankly, ignorant of potential voters tells you something about the Bernie Sanders "revolution" and why it will go exactly nowhere. Some of the ones that have a tantrum if you say that are middle aged to geezer, all of those I've gotten that reaction from have been college-credentialed, too. I would guess most of the idiots partying in Florida are college brats. I'd expel them for being so stupid, they're a reminder of how many people who get into and go through college end up as credentialed idiots. Or bring back mandatory Saturday classes crack down on alcohol, that would empty out the ones who shouldn't be there.
ReplyDeleteI can understand being fatalistic about getting it, myself, I can't understand being fatalistic on behalf of others who I might infect.
