37. NOT BIASED AGAINST AGE

I'm 63 godammit and I know I'm not as good at anything I once was. No one is. Raygun fell into dementia, Trump is falling into dementia, and by 2024 Vice President Biden will be 10 years older than Trump is now. It's simple practicality. It's why people retire. Besides that I've seen no real progress in this country since 1980, except for technology & civil rights. In fact, I consider 1969, the year of the moon landing, the peak of American culture and it has been down hill ever since. Now had Robert Kennedy not been murdered & the criminal party not retaken the Whitehouse things might have been different. But things didn't happen that way did they.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
