Jeez, every day we live we are one day closer to death! Should we not let people over 55 drive cars either? Ah, you know what, screw it! Why not just shoot everyone over 55 and let the snotnosed 18 year olds rule the world. After all, they are soooo much better at everything.
From what I gather, experience means nothing anymore. You kids think we should all just step aside from EVERYTHING and hand the world over to you on a silver platter.. I just wish I could talk to you when you're middle-aged, and we'll see if your perspective is still the same. I GUARANTEE you'll be singing a different tune. I can tell you from firsthand knowledge, that I've only gotten better with age at everything I do, and I'm much more confident as well.
P.S. - God rest his soul. At least maybe the family will find comfort that he died doing something he loved and it was fast and painless.
