If only we treated our elders like the Native Americans do plus the Muslims I know in Pakistan live with parents and when the parents are elderly, they don't shove them in some damnable state nursing homes...in fact, I told one young man where my sons lived and he asked why did they dislike me so much to move far away lol I explained they love me but this is our custom. My head bobs up and down 99% of your posts that I read so I'm in agreement with you. surely its up to the individual families as to how they treat their parents..no one is forced to institutionalised the elderly or put them in a home .... of course some parents will get exactly what they deserve and others will NOT get what they deserve.. as there are both good parents and bad parents and there are good and bad children..an d there are those both parents and children who are all to egar to shuffle off responsibilities different countries have different cultures...but in the end its down to the individual families You’re correct Mouse, there has been a difference come about here in the United States in such practices. Prior to World War two our country was far more rural in its demographics and it was more common for families to stay together over multiple generations. When people aged more often than not they remained with the family, usually until death. Oh there were certainly institutions and homes which cared for the aged but this was more for those who had no viable family members to step in and take the responsibility. As our country has become more urbanized professional institutions have grown in numbers and the types of services. This has also become a very profitable business. Usually the aged have accumulated substantial assets over their life time and these often are turned over to the care institution. Our population has also become more mobile, no longer staying in one spot over multiple generations. Our family farm is one of the growing exceptions being in the same family for over 135 years. However, one of the primary factors is the moving of the government into paying for the care of the aged. There are a number of factors but at one-time family typically cared for their aged as the cultural normal practice, now that responsibility for the aged is the result of paying others to do the care.

I don't get where you're coming from. I should have used Mouse's last statement instead of standing alone. Everyone wonders what is happening in the world but it's very simple if you believe the bible. sorry for confusion

Not sure if I will watch debate or not....the odds are against it though.
I'm learning to accept whoever is elected and not fight it but rather pray for them...

Trump Says Full Steam Ahead Donald Trump came to the stump Friday armed with his usual attack lines - and a surprising few moments of self-reflection. The Republican nominee paused his usual bombast and ceaseless attacks on Hillary Clinton to opine on his plans for the last stretch of the 2016 election. Promising days full of rallies, Trump knew the physical toll the final push to the finish line might take on him. "I don't know what kind of shape I'm in," Trump surmised of the future. "But I'll be happy and at least I will have known, win, lose or draw - and I'm almost sure, if the people come out, we're gonna win - but I will be, I will be happy with myself." Appealing to the North Carolina crowd that more than half-filled the WNC Agricultural Center, the businessman said he didn't want to look back and wish he'd done one more rally or wonder later if maybe that would've pushed him over the edge in the battleground state. "So, we have to work," Trump said, rallying cheers. He admitted later he was "invigorated" by the reception. Maintaining a softer tone, he explained he was once "part of the other side" that he now calls rigged and corrupt. "This country has been great to me," he explained. "And I said our country will not survive if we continue to play that game." His knowledge of the system from the inside, Trump reasoned, will allow him to reform it from the outside if elected. But those few minutes where Trump didn't lob attacks were short-lived. "What a waste of time if we don't pull this off," Trump growled amid a now-frequent and hyperbolized riff about Clinton receiving debate questions early. Misrepresenting hacked emails from Wikileaks that purported to show the DNC's Donna Brazile (then of CNN) receiving debate questions during the primary, Trump said he wondered if Clinton got early access to questions during general election debates — which there is no proof of. "But it doesn't matter because we won," Trump decided, leaving the point to linger in the minds of his voters, many of whom already believe the system is rigged with tricks against their candidate. Still steeping his attacks in the Wikileaks hack, Trump unleashed a new line, saying Clinton "tried to get 12 million (dollars) from the king of Morocco for an appearance. More pay to play." Trump also went after Michelle Obama, one of Hillary Clinton's most effective surrogates in recent weeks. "Wasn't she the one that originally started the statement if you can't take care of your home, right? You can't take care of the White House or the country?" Trump said, paraphrasing an attack line used by Mrs. Obama during the 2008 election. Attempting to point out the inauthenticity in Obama's surrogacy of Clinton, Trump again pushed "she's the one that started it." www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/trump-says-it-s-full-steam-ahead-final-stretch-campaign-n670866

Wilder and wilder. A sure sign of desperation.
