I surmize everyone has a physical age, an emotional age, and a mental age. What's being described here is what I think of as a person's mental age which at some point stops aging. Personally, I've determined my mental age is 23. That's the point in my life where I was out of school, living on my own, and had for the most part formed the opinions that make up my life. It's when the physical age doesn't meet the expectations of the mental age that sucks!
I saw a biography of the great cartoonist Chuck Jones and he was asked what it felt like to be in his upper 80's. He said how astonished he was that he didn't feel any different than when he was 18. It was just his old, creeky body that kept reminding him he wasn't! Spot on Chuck.
Canada only has roughly 34.5 million people to the US's 311.6 million people. Why not compare Canada to California which has a population of 37.7 million people? California has an unemployment rate of 10.8% down 0.6% since the last economic indicator and the California net worth has dropped 3.67% during the same time. So clearly the Canandian system is working and Calfornia system is not.
Now let's look at Texas (popuulation ~25.7 million). It's latest unemployment figure has dropped to 6.9% and the net worth has increased 0.9%. So clearly the Texas system is working and the Canadian system is not.
Herbert Hoover and James Monroe on the list? I would hazard a guess that a good number of people could associate Hoover with the beginning of the Great Depression and Monroe with the Monroe Doctrine (although it was actually written by his Secretary of State and future president John Quincy Adams).
Exactly what would the average person know about Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, Martin van Buren, or James Buchanan (who is usually considered the worst president; not Hsrding)? Just four choices that I would put in over those two.
Lastly, how can you mention Franklin Pierce without somehow throwing in a reference to Benjamin Franklin "Hawkeye" Pierce from M*A*S*H?
@loweringthebar - The story states he ASKS for a hug. He only gets it if the woman agrees to it. His laywer could argue that by asking (even if under a false pretense), the serial hugger had a reasonable expectation that the other person would not regard the contact as offensive or provocative.
I agree they could try to prosecute him under the law, but I think that a conviction would be dicey at best.
@babatumbe - Not that I'm inclined to be completely pro-Global Warming or completely anti-Global Warming, but I'm not dumb enough to make inane blanket statements that can be easily refuted. If you did even the most rudimentary Google search, you'd have found your statement is not true. Global warming proponents have talked about record cold Winters in relation to Global Warming:
Only two things would hold me back: The initial $24K price tag. If it was half that, I'd think I would pull the trigger...except for thing #2. Being 6'5", I have a feeling, I wouldn't fit. I would definitly have to test drive one first.

Apparently not. Nelson Marquez seems to be doing a lot of speaking too. Tool.
