I am not opposed to raising the age of retirement a few years, but good heavens, if they had talked to middle and high school teachers, they would have chosen a different number.
Before I go: 69 is the department number of Rhone, France. Seeing all those car numbers starting with 69 is quite a strange sight. Posts: 4519 | Registered: Sep 2003

Who am I to talk? I saw a book titled "Fant" (which in itself is an odd title) in a font which had its n looking quite like an r in a bookstore yesterday.
I chuckled to myself for a full 5 minutes over the Fart book.
Made funnier by the fact it was accompanied by a rather highbrow and try-hard review card.

I think the retirement age should be 50-55...and all the older workers can retire while they're still young and fit to have lots of fun. So what if people are living longer and are healthier! Why spoil it for them and make them work in a stupid job for a million more years?
I'm only thinking of myself here... in about 30 years or so, I'll be around that age.

Most of the retired people I know seem to be working harder or as hard as they did when they were not retired.

Someone dear to me is buried in section 69 of the Arlington National Cemetery. Sometimes you just have to let it be the number between 68 and 70. I'm glad I was on psych drugs already the first time I saw that. Posts: 2010 | Registered: Apr 2003

In 1969, I was in Boy Scouts, which gives away my age. My Patrol Leader wanted to change the name of our patrol from the Wolf Patrol to the "Spirit of '69" Patrol. This was to celebrate the adventurous spirit of the year that man first landed on the moon. Our Scoutmaster nixed the idea. I always wondered why. Posts: 241 | Registered: Aug 2003
