“We’re on the cusp of a rapid change in social consciousness," she writes in her new book, 100+: How The Coming Age of Longevity Will Change Everything, From Careers and Relationships to Family And Faith. "Humanity is finally in a position to shed its acceptance of disease and death and instead launch a true offensive against it."

Possibly. I have also heard that the current 20 somethings are so obese and out of shape that the American lifespan is actually going to decrease. Diabetges, heart disease, etc killing people sooner.

Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

Retirement age goes to 90.

The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.

So does my grandmother. That doesn't mean that we can't laugh at life and jokes that have been around for a while. We actually use to laugh at the joke with her when it was just starting. She knew what was coming and she thought it was a positive way to look at it! No need to get too uptight about it. If we get rid of all jokes that may offend someone, then we have to get rid of all blond, brunette, bald, ethnic, national, short, tall, fat, slow, political, government, Democrat, Republican, President, animal jokes and ALL other jokes there are! NO MORE LAUGHING!
