So there should be an age limit on Presidents. Say 60 years of age

Yes, idealism was prevalent in the youth. Not so sure if that’s true anymore.

Yeah, but you died from a bee sting back then. Men were middle aged at 14.

I think the age of MLK when he held his famous speech is more interesting than these colonial bastards.

Why do we have seventy year olds + running the country? I wouldn’t trust my grandpa running my own house. #ImpeachBiden

Thom Paine was the best

In the expected maturity and life expectancy context of its time, these would be like 30-60 year olds. 😅

Paine was an old fart.

Wow, it truly is fascinating. I had no idea they were so young.
