as one on the cusp of old fartitude, i ask: do you want an old fart for president? i sure don't
This SHOULD be a bigger issue. A commercial pilot cannot fly past 60. Active Duty soldiers in the US military must retire by 62. Even Catholic priests must retire by 70 in some places or 75 at the absolute oldest. If a priest is unable to perform duties past 75, how can we expect a President?

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
john northbrooke, c. 1570
