It's easy to see why!
"No, he should keep driving until he kills someone you love. After all, he's only 85."
There you are I knew you'd show up. Guess a mistake is as good as a death warrant with you. I've made the same mistake as Mr. Glenn once upon a time, you gonna take my license too?
If you can't drive any better than john glenn, you shouldn't have a license either. I don't know what you're trying to say about a death warrant, but when some geezer kills your loved one, don't expect sympathy from me.
"f you can't drive any better than john glenn,"
I love it when people make assumptions.
There needs to be criteria where you must be retested, for vision, rules of the road, and an actual road test. I think over the age of 65 it should be required every two years... and to be honest, under 65 it should be every 5-10 years or so.
Oh, and I would not charge the seniors for this test. I am sure that will be a non-starter... but let's be fair.
I agree with the first part--only the US citizen got sold out when he joined forces with Reno to keep secrets about the Chi Coms from damaging the Clinton administration. He didn't just get a ride worth $20M, he got debt forgiveness from the DNC to the order of $3M.
What I disagree with is that he found the choice in any way difficult. Not only would some of these desperate pilots sell out the US, there's a lot who would kill for the ticket. Or, "mission"--as they'd prefer to call it.
Are you familiar with the word "if"? Glenn was cited for the accident.
COL John Glenn was worthy of your childhood respect, and you have no reason to be ashamed.
SEN John Glenn is deserving only of contempt.
