Come grow old with me...


When i get older losing my hair,
Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
If i'd been out till quarter to three
Would you lock the door,
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,


When i'm sixty-four.


I feel this shame….this remorse, that there are leaders in our country, our communities…in our media that are pandering to moneyed interests to stifle dialogue and communication regarding health care. I find it even more despicable that to do this they are spreading fear in one of our most cherished segments, the elderly.

The Bush administration, Cheney, Rove practiced this to further their agenda. Fear mongers.
It is shameful. And it breaks my heart.

I was young thirty-five years ago. I had successfully kept my ass out of a strange war being waged and popped it in college instead. Not being able to make the football team….I joined the debate team. I remember a hot topic in 1972.

RESOLVED: "That the federal government should provide a program of comprehensive medical care for all its citizens."


Things haven’t changed. Strange war and we are still short of band aids.
