  • Elder's are the enemy now?

    What unenlightened clap-trap!!! It's the very folks you call seniors today that 30 years ago warned us all how today's environment was shaping up to be. When we were the then 'youth'. Back then you did'nt want to listen to us because the largest part of who was talking about the environment were Hippies. Not the media/TV hippies,the real ...

  • Are Grandma and Grandpa bad for the environment?

    Just by breathing they discharge carbon dioxide in to the atmosphere. Those aged bodies don't perform very well and the health costs are astranomical. Combine this with paying them Social Security benefits and or Pensions and the cost escalates. What do you propose ? To exterminate them ? I'll bet that you support abortion also. I see that satan ...

  • Re: Soylent Green ???

    So true! Work is something the younger generation seems to want nothing to do with. After working with young people for many years, they are the ones that call in sick, hide in remote places in the work place so they can goof with their friends, and complain about how mean their boss treats them. It is the older workers that show up for work every ...

  • baby boomers & budget

    Baby boomers won't phase the budget, nothing close to what the Nat'l Debt from Bush's war in Iraq and Afghanistan. We need to get him and anyother republican out of the Executive branch because they don't give a hoot about the national debt, they only give a hoot about the rich, and don't give a hoot about the environment! Speaking of national ...

  • No wonder Obama is going to lose!

    Old people are greener becuase they don't have to work as much as young people? This Grandpa has had TWO hybrids for the last five years, solar panels on his roof and walks to 60 hour a week work. He is constantly reminding x'ers, y'ers and millenials (some boomers too) that they should be recycling those plastic bottles and aluminum cans and not ...

  • How boomers will be different

    Addie and her friends are the last generation not to be online. Leisure World will have to install broadband for us aging boomers. And there will be more men. Men in Addie's cohort tended to be heavy smokers or work in hazardous manufacturing jobs that involved toxic materials (think asbestos) that affected their overall health. So the male-female ...

  • Raines Still Innocent?

    Well it took a while, but Fannie Mae has finally crashed thanks to manipulation of earnings and coverups by current and former senior management. It would have been much easier to give Mr. Raines his $50,000,000+ in excess compensation than admit the company was taking incredible risks by lowering underwriting standards under his rein and ...
