Harsh take, man.

Maybe it’s just me. I have the same reaction to people who sky dive or bungy jump for fun. It reminds me of a line from a really good YA book that I’ve read repeatedly: “Adventures come in big chunks. You can’t just have a little bit of adventure.”

The “big chunks” of adventure are perilously close to us all right now. I’m 12 clicks away from the Lebanon border as the missile flies. Texas cheerleaders are getting murdered in their bath tubs by illegal aliens. Nut cases are shooting up schools, houses of worship and malls. Hordes of barbarians can invade and rape, murder and slaughter peaceful communities. The world is more full of dangerous lunatics than usual.

So why go to the trouble of living so long, just to perform such an unnecessary and life-threatening stunt. So other centenarians will do something just as frivolous, following your sterling example? 16-year-olds wrap their shiny corvettes around trees and die. 92-year-olds should have more sense.
