Not at all—morally and with a humanistic-bent—I don’t cheer for the deaths of my loved ones or their peers. But like taxes, death is inevitable.

The sooner limited, choice, resources are freed up for the younger generations the better. The Old were useful because they spawned, and raised, the young. As replacements, knowingly.

- toasterlovin 8y agoYou’re being downvoted, but I agree with you. Having a system where the old benefit at the expense of the young is a shit way to organize things.
