Time does feel as if it moves quickly after 60 while at the same time cultural change always seems to plod along at its own pace. Witnessing a 60+ woman as a front contender for the White House is definitely exciting. Gay Marriage can be viewed as positive though challenges will evolve. Our 2nd Amendment needs to be clarified. The right to bear arms was intended for US Citizens to defend their country in case of a foreign invasion or attack; NOT meant for guns to be available to the extent they are now and how they’re used. It is very upsetting to see our culture becoming more violent. As an “Elder Chick” I will take every opportunity to foster peace and to approach change with an open mind.

Amen. I was beginning to think I was the only one who had actually read the second amendment.
You mean all those people with guns are not part of a “well regulated militia?”
Right on! As an 81 year old Elder Chick I agree with you whole heartedly!
Joan, the closing words of your post could be an appropriate mantra for all Elder Chicks. Worth noting again here–As an “Elder Chick” I will take every opportunity to foster peace and to approach change with an open mind.”
Well said!
How sad that there is a hard core group of 2nd Amendment Righters who believe that they are the militia who will protect us from the enemy: the government.
