In reply to the discussion: 2016 may be the last time I get to vote for [View all]MADem
(135,425 posts)7. I hope you are well.
If you're otherwise healthy, there's no reason why you can't vote for another twenty years, at least. People are living a lot longer, nowadays--my next door neighbor's mom just died, a week before her 100th birthday. She'd been feeling poorly of late, poor dear. But up until she felt bad, she felt great...!
I'm voting for Clinton, and I'll volunteer to help out if I can. If she wins the White House, she'll turn 70 during her first term. She's got good genes, though--her mother Dorothy lived until 92--and medicine has improved a lot even in the four years since she died.
I agree with your thesis, though--it's a journey, and we've gotta build those dreams like Johnny Cash's car--one piece at a time!!!
