In reply to the discussion: So I attended a dinner party Saturday night... [View all]Jean Genie
(282 posts)13. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing a bit of your dinner party with us. As a fellow "old person," I love hearing that even as we age, we can - and do - make a difference. A HUGE difference! Joe Biden is an exceptional human being. There's not a day goes by that I don't marvel at our good fortune in this country that he is our President. I hope and pray that he will continue to be so after the upcoming election cycle. Kindness, humanity, experience count for much much more than the number that is one's date of birth.

Age is relative. Trump may be physically younger than Biden, but he is mentally far older and far less knowledgeable.

Just below that average age, but get it. However, I'm not sure majority of 30, 40, 50 year-olds do.

The best is what we all want. They needed DeBakey's intellect and guidance. May the Force Be With You.

Yes! And there are many much younger that have problems with both health and their memories.
