BS. It's why so many people don't vote. It's not just that they feel disengaged, they're just perfectly content to take no part in how their country is run. They have leaders to make all the decisions that they don't want responsibility for, and that makes them feel safe.

I just want the SS that I've been paying into for the last 37 years. The whole entitlement argument pisses me off. It's mine for f*cks sake.

I stand by my first post in this thread. If you have to think about what life means you're not living.

Have you ever wondered if maybe the opposite is true (that if you don't think about life, you aren't living, but merely existing)?

I might have overshot a bit, I suppose the more you think about life the less you're living. And finding your own personal balance and, imo, learning to respect that of others, is the point? idk. I'm too busy trying to find something cheap and/or free to do with my evening off.
