I'm not surprised by any of the ignorant comments on the 50+ forum. Reading about complex subjects with a high degree of comprehension is a tiresome task. And many 50+ers repeatedly demonstrate slothful, "can't do" characteristics in their other posts. Critical thinking isn't one of the attributes that come to mind when reviewing the inane subject matter of many of these threads.
In a larger sense, some how in some way, it seems that stupidity and ignorance have somehow gained respect and relevance in today's society. Many people are supporting and applauding public figures with stubborn fascist-like reasoning. All positions, regarding the nation's interests are afforded equal respect, no matter how ridiculous, how absurd, how patently unreasonable.
That being said, there are no reasons, in advancing any logic in this subject matter. Smell you later.......
