    Yes, there is something to be said for letting disconnected geriatric self serving politicians make decision that will affect future generations that they will never have to deal with.

    The Iroquois Confederacy always made their decisions thinking ahead 7 generations. Our current politicians seem to only care about the next three months. This is an enormous problem.

      It’s not necessarily an age thing, it’s an empathy thing. It turns out the young have just as much capacity for being incredibly selfish and narcissistic, depending on the individual.

      In general the older should be more conscientious of such things, but a person with so many character flaws like Donvict has never at any point in his life been worthy of public service.
