This news group has been BORING.  I propose a topic to discuss.  The
other day, I heard that for the first time in our nation's history, the
number of people over 65 is greater than those under 21.  In fact, the
median age is now 34 (up from 29).  What implications does this have?
Will it make social secutiry an impossiblity in the future?  Will it spell
an end to our facination with being young?  I open this forum for discussion.
