🤔 Wld be great to see ppl this age coming into gov't w/ half their erudition & wisdom. And then to continue a role in gov't a decade later, like these ppl did - implementing our Constitution. Then continue to govern in old age if qualified, like these ppl.

I would not trust my future to todays men of 18-30. They are maybe ready to marry at 30.
