Default Lets bring back Age 60

There are a lot more of us who want them gone than those who want to stay. I'd guess a 10-to-1 ratio. We have the voting power. Lets make this happen. Any one have an idea of where to start?

That's hilarious. Are you here all week?

The cockpit is the only place where they are able to catch up on there sleep.

Like putting the magic blue smoke back into the electrics... Once the geni is out of the bottle... How do you get someone on welfare to get a job... And there's about 400 more bad analogies for why this will be really hard if not impossible to achieve.
