[Charles H. (The_r0nin)]

I don't think anyone is arguing that the costs will be significant. I think the question is what to do about it. Is the value of a person solely defined by how much labor or money they can contribute to "society"?

In the past, the elderly contributed their wisdom to society. But, since it can't be had quickly, painlessly, or through an internet course (and it often tells liberals not to do the things they want to do), wisdom is no longer valued. Hence the older folks among us are, either...
