Letter: Seniors priced out of drug market

Friday, July 2, 1999 | 10:23 a.m.

Perhaps when we get to an old age, like in the Social Security age, we should be taken out and shot.

After all this would save money for everyone and I guess that is what this life is all about. We have citizens in this free country who are worth $90 billion.

If anyone reading this letter can tell me what any one individual needs with this kind of money I would sure be interested in hearing about it.

Perhaps the day is just around the corner when the United States will become a nation without any store but the company store. No place to live but the company house.

And what I would like to know is what ever happened to the antitrust laws that were once strictly enforced?

I and all the other veterans of all the world wars just wonder where we went wrong. We fought wars to end all wars and we have had nothing but wars since.

Oh well, this old soldier is getting old and tired. Perhaps it's time to let the younger generation figure it all out.

Sorry if I have bored anyone but as a great general once said, "Old soldiers never die, they just fade away."
