No, not all life is equally valuable in the long run, and every single civilization that has ever existed (minus MoCo, of course) understood that. People at the end of their lives are not as important to the future of the nation/civ as are children. A jagged boomer pill, but utterly irrefutable. Frankly, all civs that contributed to world culture in the long run engendered selflessness and humility in their elderly such that when their time was short they would step back from public life, not assume they should continue to have a decision-making role, quietly retire into a private life, and relinquish their wealth for the sake of future generations. And they never in a million years would expect the children and vital adults to forsake their responsibilities to the greater good just for the sake of the Boomer Good.

Yeah but not so much of any of that ethic in modern America, amirite?[/quote]

I'm just going to point out here that the [i]oldest[/i] boomers are 74.

At least be accurate about the people who should, in your opinion, be graciously willing to die for the greater good.[/quote]

Nobody needs to die. The elderly just need to step off! Stay indoors. Stop assuming decision-making roles. Stop lobbying to keep society closed because they alone are at-risk here. If we had real leaders they would hear their lobbying/concerns and politely show the Boomers the door. And the American Boomers would retire with humility -- a tall order, to be sure.[/quote]

Stupid old people, trying to stay involved in life, when they should just stay inside and act as though they were already dead.[/quote]

The nerve![/quote]

....so everyone has to stay in lockdown? We're all in this together? I have bills to pay and children who need to eat. What should I do? Can we live on love and togetherness?[/quote]
