What an odd world we live in

I got this from my friend Sherry who forwarded it to me. Now I think all of you guys should read it:

This email started in Canada, but I think it says a lot for the whole world, and is worth thinking about

Dear Prime Minister

Let's put the seniors in jail and the criminals in a nursing home. This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies and walks. They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc and they'd receive money instead of paying it out. They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly if they fell, or needed assistance.

Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them. A guard would check on them every 20 minutes and bring their meals and snacks to their cell.

They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose. They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counselling, pool and education.

Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, PJ's and legal aid would be free, on request. Private, secure! rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens. Each senior could have a PC a TV radio and daily phone calls..

There would be a board of directors to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct that would be strictly adhered to.

The "criminals" would get cold food, be left all alone and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room and pay $900.00 per month and have no hope of ever getting out. I MUST AD TO THIS THO.. WHERE MY GRAM IS SHE PAY'S $1400.00 A MONTH PLUS EXTRA FEE'S FOR HAIR CUTS, FOOT CARE,DENTAL CARE, EYE CARE,TEA AND A SNACK EVEN ONCE A WEEK ON THEIR ENTERTAINMENT NIGHT! OH THE LIST GOES ON..... AND NOT ALL MEDICATIONS ARE COVERED! THERE IS A LOT MORE TO AD TRUST ME!! AND THIS AMOUNT IS ON SUBSIDIZED RENT!!!

Justice for all we say.

It is time for us grumpy old bastards to speak up!

And if you are not retired yet your day will come.
