I'm the first person to ***** about how the elderly drive (normally anyone 85 and older, and particularly women) - HOWEVER, it's sickening how this is a kids world.
Kids are treated like Veterans. They get preferential treatment everywhere.
Case in point:
I go to a lot of sporting events, most of them baseball games. Who gets balls thrown to them? KIDS.
If there are people around for autographs, who gets the autographs? KIDS
I would more likely give a 60, 70, 80, 90 year old a ball or autograph. Why?
They won't be around much longer! This may be their LAST chance to get a baseball or signature.
Half the kids don't even appreciate it anyway because they get everything they want in life anyway.....
Sad
It's all about hope. Our lives lose hope after a while and then put all our hope onto our kids. Therefore we want to give kids the reasons for having hope. Baseballs get given to kids because kids are aspiring to be baseball stars. You hope that one baseball might make them push themselves. The old get a baseball, so what? What will they do with a thing that is literally that, a thing? Nothing.
Mine just withered and decayed...
It happens.
You saw Obama talk about hope. Trump talk about hope.
They do so because most people have lost hope for their lives. They've had their kids, they've got their miserable job, their house and there's nothing left to hope for. Okay, there's the occasional sporting event etc, but politics becomes their hope, that the next leader will do something for them to make their lives somehow better.
Doesn't happen of course, but you shout hope out the window, they'll vote for you.
