So true, oh so true. I wonder if they will thank us.

--Don't expect much from America, a society where children routinely put their parents 'out to pasture' in horrid places called 'nursing homes,'...a society which lets old people kill themselves prematurely and which places a 'woman's right to her body' over the life of an unborn child...

Thank you for your feedback, Gershon. When I was very, very young I learned how to tie my shoes in a double knot, really tight, but I couldn't untie them :) I tried and tried but to no avail. I was stubborn and didn't want to ask for help, but eventually I had to ask my Mom or Dad to help me. And they did. Makes you wonder who's going to untie the hard knots that mankind's responsible for?
