Henry David Thoreau famously stated in Walden that “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” The norm for a funeral service is now "celebration of a life" <br /><br />Good to have you back in the USA Al Rodbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993709026872288071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125300329382786892.post-70419847242751413182013-05-14T17:05:23.155-07:002013-05-14T17:05:23.155-07:00Seriously?

"...older, White, republican, rural educated men..." - what a perfect glimpse into the microcosm of older, white, Democratic, self-loathing men.<br /><br />Speaking as an older, white (the other categories don't apply) individual, I expect the best and prepare for the worst. Something like the 70 year old guy who overpowered and subdued a burglar in his house last week on the east coast.<br /><br />At least gun involved crime is at a twenty year low in the U. S., so we can all breathe a bit easier.<br /><br />Social politics aside I plan to continue enjoying the blog. Believe it or not, the ageing process has interested me since high school.<br /><br />Lance Dalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148441577670563914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125300329382786892.post-12966283736471553712013-04-23T18:29:48.710-07:002013-04-23T18:29:48.710-07:00Science would contradict you.

S.M.; Hemenway, David <br />Homicide, Suicide, and Unintentional Firearm Fatality: Comparing the United States With Other High-Income Countries, 2003-2007. 2011. Journal of Trauma-Injury Infection & Critical Care:, Volume 70 - Issue 1 - pp 238-243.<br /><br />A tangent issue is why are older, White, republican, rural educated men fearful? And the reason I did not take that direction in my blog is because there is very little research in that area. It would have been speculative and political. These blogs are an attempt to distill the science. I am glad that you enjoy them.<br />Mario Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447719011664536580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125300329382786892.post-31232910716064493692013-04-22T17:33:03.085-07:002013-04-22T17:33:03.085-07:00I find your post informative in addressing real ag...I find your post informative in addressing real ageing issues.<br /><br />But I think "Guns & Older Adults" did not address the core issue of guns as the only really effective means of defense for home and business owners.<br /><br />On rare occassion, the news nods to a story of violence and crime being thwarted. The seventysomething in the convenience store who propped a shotgun on his crutch and stopped a robbery comes to mind.<br /><br />No sane person accepts gun violence in the home but simple ownership for home defense is another issue.<br /><br />Properly selected firearms in the hands of experienced operators (often older adults) level the field for premeditated violent criminals and owners who just want to see the morning.<br /><br />Heaven help the homeowner in his bathrobe holding a steak knife as home invaders kick in the door.<br /><br />Lance DalyLance Dalyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148441577670563914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8125300329382786892.post-5515388889840706962012-02-14T11:51:05.746-08:002012-02-14T11:51:05.746-08:00Interesting and true.

But, it must be addressed on many fronts, and the phobia, this universal fear, since everyone has the symptoms, unlike the underlying pathologies, is amenable to a cure. <br /><br />Let's do it.Al Rodbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993709026872288071noreply@blogger.com
