Even at the best, folks at 90 are frail. I had a go round the other day with someone who couldn’t understand why I would urge folks to look out for her, not set her next to someone unworthy of sitting next to her.

Putting Schwarzenegger next to her is insulting. She deserves better. We deserve better.

Schwarzenegger deserves a swift kick in the seat of his pants.

I agree with your take on things. I’ve spend some time around older folks and I respect them. When they get to a certain stage in life, they deserve to be looked out for.

The political landscape and the hot button issues change around them and not many can keep up.

My 90 year old aunt had registered in Florida back in the days when it was a one party state and if you didn’t vote in the Democrat primary you had no say at all in who the candidate was for the general.

Come to find out my aunt is still registered Democrat even though she thinks J.E.B. can walk on water and has voted straight Republican forever, like her ancestors.

It is too much for her to do to just get the garbage can out to the sidewalk on pick up day, let alone reregister in her real party.
