Food for thought...and trust me on this...the final decades aren't necessarily "golden years". Now I'm 65. Some days, I wish I'd doubled
my intake of marlboros, booze, and most importantly? Loose women! ![]()

Certainly some diseases lead to more life-time care than for some who lives w/o that disease. But, that is too simple of a model to apply across the board. --Are there any actuaries in the house?

This thread explains a lot. I never made the connection before that killing people could be sound economic policy. Therefore, Environmental and Safety Standards should be opposed, Troops sent into battle without protective armor, etc. Death is a good thing, and should be encouraged by the Govt.
In fact we should start a preemptive 'WAR ON HEALTH' . Lower the drinking age to 16 and as soon as kids get their Driver's license they can get drunk too. Give them a free Crotch Rocket as a first vehicle. Repeal Motorcycle Helmet and Seat Belt laws. Make Cigarettes and Booze even more addicting. Encourage Suicide as a Patriotic Duty. The only question is, how old should they be before we encourage death. I think we could encourage it starting and 40 and make it Mandatory at 50. Maybe a 'Soylent Green' type program. Eliminate all Govt. Health Care in one swoosh, after all, keeping people alive only means they will need Health Care somewhere down the road. Any other ideas along those lines?
