There's a lot of truth to the saying that "you cannot cure old age". I think that's all Rush is saying.
Thanks, RichieLion, that clears up a lot for me. I printed all 3 items that you gave a link to and will read them more carefully later when I'm not on the computer. In the mean time, I have a question for anyone reading this:

If Rush really believes what he said, why is he working so hard to save our democratic republic? Doesn't he know that it's in poor health and about to die of old age? The biggest factor, in determining why great civilizations die, is "old age." Doesn't he realize how silly it is trying to have a healthy democratic republic when old age is going to take it from us anyway?

No, instead, he only knows how silly it is for someone to try to live a healthy lifestyle. Why is that? Why the difference between one and the other? My opinion is: Follow the money! He works for radio and radio earns a good portion of its revenue from advertising processed (fast) foods.

Anyone have a comment on that?
