p> SIXTY-YEAR MAN BR>Re: R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.'s Happy Birthday, Mr. Ex-President : p>The bubble is firmly encased around him. He's the rock star president (another '60s originated phenom) and will always attract young mindless celebrity agog groupies. Ms. Mayo is of the older groupie persuasion and has no bubble to protect her from the same real world. She bet on the wrong horse of political philosophy to invest her life in. You're right about their coming reaction to even more unpleasant awakenings. We need to set the national civility system on SEVERE as the elections near and all these unhinged people can argue with is their excretory system. BR>— Laurey Boyd p>I too am among the group turning 60 along with the President and the Ex-President. Somewhere in the back of my head there is a voice screaming “You can't be that old”! Alas, I am, but our generation is determined to stay young. We work longer, we take care of ourselves and we do not consider ourselves to be old. The Ex-President might as well enjoy it. It's coming! BR>— Jean Sherrill BR>Huntingdon, Tennessee p>I would love to meet Bob Tyrrell; I know he's very busy. But someday, just a chance to say thank you for educating me in true conservatism He and Rush are my political heroes. p>Count me as part of the 70% who are 60 and don't mind at all. I am busy, I write, I love being with my grandchildren — it doesn't get much better than this. Sixty was a tough number till I took stock of my life and realized how good it is.
