During my lifetime all of this changed.
During his lifetime?

On the day this gentleman was born, the life expectancy for an American male was 59.9 years.

He should have been dead by 1996.

But he's still alive today, at age 79.

And it's all due to all the shit he claims to hate so well.

20 additional years of life - so far! 50% additional adult life! What's not to like?

Gosh, everything -- it turns out, he's spent all that extra time complaining! An extended lifetime of bitterness, ignorance, and aggravating for lifestyles that are short and painful.

Do what you like, but I'm against it.

Check out my new octagon-shaped wheel. It's NEW! Are you accepting it?
