You know what, i am P.O. right now, i hate people who play games, i tell you i really do.

I know and sorry guy, but please do not email me, and say something different in my eamil, then you have stated in your post. I hate that, that is lying.
Question, why do you tell me in a email, that you are 22 but stated in your post, your a senior, i don't like this crap, sorry but i don't.

Are you 22 or a senior really, i hate people who play games, honestly, i am done with this.

One other point .. If so many young folks feel that the older folks don't care about their future .. 'why' is it that they tend to 'overlook' the fact that the Obama administration is spending theirs and their children's future away?
(Do these young folks actually 'believe' that Obamacare will be paid out of pocket .. by Obama?)
DAMN good question, why do people not care about this or their children's future. Obama administration, is definitely spending it away, but, i'm sure they can explain it away.

Are you talking to me or the OP? I've never claimed to be either a senior or a 22 year old kid.

I doubt that there are many Americans that have the self-dicipline to "govern their own behavior first or foremost" - much less govern the behavior of others.

People for the most part have ALWAYS been out for themselves......this includes the Gr**dy G**zer crowd.

That is supposedly why we have crud called politicians..........to make hard decisions about things that are unpopular among Amerit**ds in general.

Do you think that someone who is recieving B*by M**ma B**efits is going to agree to a cutback in said benefits.........LOL.

If you're past 65 years old and you need an organ transplant of any kind you shouldn't get it unless there are no younger candidates in need, also no 100s of thousand-millions$$$ worth of treatment for you unless you pay out of pocket. Seriously they should be given a big bag of heroin so they can live out their last days comfortably but don't burden society with extremely expensive end/near-end of life care and die like a man, with dignity.
Why start eliminating candidates at at 65 ? Expanding on the OP's suggested approach, the transplant priority list could be sorted by age....and the youngest candidates could always get the organ... no? This would be simple for the state to administer, in fact no one would need be involved in the decisions. It would simply require a computer to sort, reprioritize, and publish the list each time a candidate was identified.

Further beauty of this 'accelerated' approach would be that the government will save even more medical costs of the sick and aging .
