"Is old dangerous" might be an apt question after bearing and, seeing some people who are marching' I .!vwn the hill. If it is riot danger otis, it is certainly sail to see an aged person lose all the joys of life, and in their decline lose sight of every j pith except those leading the world to destruction.
