I think it might affect the length of time you will be allowed to rule.

Science can be rather polarizing and lead to isolation from the masses. Maybe that's why it is always mad scientists who plan to rule the world. <br /><br />I will have to Google Joe Versus The Volcano I must admit I have never heard of itRob Z Toborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03570498194207996145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-63421319153211999492015-06-11T11:03:44.509+01:002015-06-11T11:03:44.509+01:00I had a long career in a science job that didn'...I had a long career in a science job that didn't have enough physical movement, sitting all day. After a 'forced' retirement I am now much busier and enjoy more physical activity being a commercial artist. Plus I get to have more interaction with people, it was too much like the beginning of the movie 'Joe Versus The Volcano' working in a basement in a laboratory.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8808596250801819029.post-86084827673183909382015-06-10T22:58:19.443+01:002015-06-10T22:58:19.443+01:00There are many many jobs that will be difficult to...There are many many jobs that will be difficult to do as you get older, but politicians are only interested in the economics of what they are doing. We need a society that shows far more compassion and where people help each other, not just look at everything and everyone in terms of affordability. <br /><br />It would be very interesting to see some of those old Tomorrows World programmes and see how things have changed.

It would be interesting to bring it back and see how/if some of their predictions came to fruition.<br /><br />My mum had worked since she was 16 and just narrowly came within the law change on retirement age. Probably a good thing because at 65 years young, would she still have been expected to work even though she now has severe osteoarthritis? It's great for those who still want to keep working and who are fit and healthy, but I'm not sure the government took onboard people's failing health when they passed that law. But then they probably don't care anyway.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06418601369080683210noreply@blogger.com
