Armageddun Loc: The show me state

THIS IS US!!!
Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every
conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.

*HOWEVER, *upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was

*NOT *the senior citizens who took *The* * melody*

*out of music, The* * pride*

*out of appearance, The* * courtesy*

*out of driving,The* * romance*

*out of love,The* * commitment*

*out of marriage,The* * responsibility*

*out of parenthood,The* *togetherness*

*out of the family, The* * learning*

*out of education, The* * service*

*out of patriotism, The* * Golden Rule*

*from rulers, The* * nativity*

*scene out of cities, The* * civility*

*out of behavior, The* * refinement*

*out of language, The* * dedication*

*out of employment, The* * prudence* *out of spending,*

*The ambition* *out of achievement, *

*Under God*

* out of prayer.
*And we certainly are *NOT* the ones who eliminated *patience *and
*tolerance* from personal relationships and interactions with others!!

And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country.

Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at attention with their hand over their hearts!


*YES, I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN!*

I'm the life of the party..... Even if it lasts until 8 p.m.

I'm very good at opening childproof caps..... With a hammer.

I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.

I'm sure everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.

I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.

Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!


Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them, but I would send it to many more too!

Spread the laughter
Share the cheer
Let's be happy while we're here.

And
*Go Green - Recycle CONGRESS!!*

It was not us seniors that took any of those things away, it was us seniors that indulged in all those things that bring a stiffer penalty today. Human nature hasn't changed and will not change despite lenient nostalgia or gracious revisionism. There has never been and never will be the "good old days": such a concept is for the privileged or lucky, not the "ordinary." And it is a great danger to promote. There is no worse or greater moment than the now.
