That's mean Brees.. but its anthropology needs no apology. I'll let you two sort it out. My sense of age is different than yours perhaps. I've seen many young people get hardening of their hearteries early on, while I've seen some very old incredibly young people. One who passed away two years ago, took up tap dancing and guitar playing at 76 years old while he continued to run a hospital department. He refused to retire from life.

Wis. Dem. Feingold Sided With GOP January 27, 1999 By The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) -- A solitary Democrat broke party ranks in Wednesday's impeachment votes. Sen. Russell Feingold of Wisconsin said that despite ''serious problems'' with the case against President Clinton, it is only fair to give House prosecutors more time to attempt to prove the impeachment allegations. But Feingold said his votes against dismissal of the two impeachment articles and in favor of allowing House prosecutors to summon witnesses Monica Lewinsky, Vernon Jordan and Sidney Blumenthal should not be viewed as a signal that he would vote to convict the president. ''I have not reached a decision on that question,'' Feingold said in a written statement. But, he added, ''to dismiss this case would ... improperly short-circuit this trial.'' Feingold said the House prosecutors must have ''every reasonable opportunity'' -- including testimony from witnesses -- to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Clinton should be removed from office on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice. ''At this point, the House managers case has some serious problems, and I am not certain that it can be helped by further testimony from witnesses,'' he said. ''I simply cannot say that the House managers cannot prevail.'' Sen. Joseph Lieberman, D-Conn., said Feingold indicated that he had greater concern about the obstruction of justice article and ''wanted to hear witnesses before he reached his judgment on it.'' Feingold had previously sought separate dismissal votes on the two articles and said in his statement that one of them ''comes closer to the core meaing of high crimes and misdemeanors.'' Feingold, 45, won his second six-year term in the Senate after a tough re-election battle against former GOP Rep. Mark Neumann. Known mainly as a champion for campaign finance reform and harsh critic of national milk marketing policy, Feingold last fall distanced himself from the Democratic Party by ordering negative party ads taken off the air in his Senate race. Lieberman, who stunned the White House in September with a speech that was highly critical of Clinton's conduct and urged some formal disapproval, said he respected Feingold's position and told him ''not to worry about his votes.'' Most Democrats avoided direct criticism of Feingold. ''I think he voted his conscience,'' said Sen. John Breaux, D-La. ''It's an indication we didn't try to break arms and insist on a caucus vote.'' Republicans, however, said Feingold deserved praise for breaking ranks. ''We have one Democrat who was willing to stand up to his own caucus,'' said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah. ''Let me tell you, that was a big-time thing.''
