Mark Steyn has some useful things to say about this. Here
If we know that 51% of the voting population can live off the other 49% and eventually worse, why can't we take action while we still have time? Can't we just make it a rule that if we are voting on matters that ordinary people might regard as a conflict of interest then they should recuse themselves from that particular vote.
As usual, the semi-articulate Max Baucus, as usual embarrassing all of us from Montana, had something to say on this matter when he could take some time off from his domestic duties, or maybe someone had hidden his bottle.
This is a small experiment in the blogosphere. "If you have no interest in what it's like to grow old, what follows is not for you. However, if it's going to happen to you, and the outcome is ultimately going to be negative, then finding a way to make the process as bearable, even as enjoyable as possible, might be worth a little attention."—from John Jerome's On Turning Sixty-Five

“In beholding old stones we may feel our anxieties about our achievements–and lack of them–slacken . . . Vast landscapes [and seascapes] can have an anxiety–reducing effect similar to ruins, for they are the representatives of infinite space, as ruins are the representatives of infinite time, against which our weak, short-lived bodies seem no less inconsequential than those of moths or spiders.”—Alain de Botton in Status Anxiety
