For years, I've been saying - and lately, without a trace of facetiousness - that it is far from the worst time in history to be in one's 70s. My friends and I have talked about this quite a bit, and we are firmly of the conclusion that, growing up as we did near the beaches of Greater Vancouver, and when we did, we experienced the zenith of Western civilization.

For sure, we are now witnessing the first decades of the downside.
