It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the issue of "age 65" is divided along age lines. I'm very surprised to see that a self proclaimed "young, junior guy" such as yourself doesn't seem the least bit bothered by the whole thing. Let me guess...you're not getting bounced to ANC or the panel, are you? Rhetorical question B2, don't bother answering, because everyone here already knows the answer.
Yes, that's what you
should have said. Your admission is good enough for me...thank you. As for the age 65 issue and your plight, it does bother me even though it obviously hasn't affected me as much as it has you. I just don't like to see people complaining about their lot in life when they have it a lot better than other folks. You may be going to Anchorage or to the panel, but you're not on the street either, and unlikely to be in the future. As Roberto said, it's not the older guys' fault with what's happening here. Obviously you don't like being taken to task by someone with a different opinion...I'm just holding the mirror bud, I can't help it if you don't like what you see.
