If one has the ability and if the good Lord gives one the health, one should be allowed make a contribution in whatever walk of life. I fully support those who have the ability and the experience. That is what will pave the way in the United States in the long term.

Senator White made a point about consultants and doctors having to retire at a certain age. People are in such good health these days they want to work for as long as possible. There can be nothing more depressing than looking forward to doing nothing. I never heard anything like it. The brain would go to seed and one would be gone in a few years. That will not happen to politicians because we are all very alert.
