All working people should definitely go by the book, and everyone under the age of 55 should automatically comply. Those over 55 should be able to do whatever they darn well please.

It's a know fact that old timers become short tempered, crotchety and lack tolerance. But do they really, or do they become gentler and wiser because of life lessons they have learned?? Personally, I think you just become more of who you've always been.
