Like it or not we live in a world with limitations and structure. And sure, my experience is anecdotal but there are studies out there on cognitive & physical decline. It's a bummer, but past 65 is where the decline starts to happen (see Seattle Longitudinal Study) and like others have said here, all of us probably don't want the inept feds looking deeper into our lives if it comes to that. One of those careful what you wish for things methinks.
