Strange days.

[zotz]

Well, unfortunately it seems that Jonny Ramone is and always has been a staunch republican, and really wants Dubya to be re-elected. On the upside, Patti's new LP's out shortly, and according to yesterday's review it's a corker. Apparently many eons ago she was described as "Three chords merged with the power of the word", and going by last year's London gig she still is.

And for once, a piece of news which is both critically important and exceptionally positive: the world's population growth is shallowing rapidly. The prophets of doom aren't always right. And that Malthus bloke can fuck right off.

Original retirement criteria

The original retirement age was set by taking the average life expectancy and been given 1 year to tidy up your affairs. I can't remember exactly when this was but I think it might have been 19th century in France.
