    Every time I feel old I remember that all of my grandparents lived to well over 90 and that I’m barely halfway through my life. With modern medicine and the Boomers beta testing any advances, I’ll probably live to 130 with good quality of life with just over the counter medication and regular automated cancer screenings.

    And extra colon cancer screenings if I’m a good boy.

        Neither did they, but they borrowed from future generations.

        Now ppl can’t & even might not want to live that long.

      I hope I don’t make it to 80, that I don’t have to muster the courage to action my principles. Let me die with meaning before I’m no longer contributing to our fight for dignity. A body without a brain is little more than a vessel for profit.
