Age is definitely a huge part of our politics. We have politicians that are too old to govern, laws that are too old to be relevant, and a constitution to old to handle problems for the 21'st century. There is something unnatural in trying to create a system of perpetual wealth accumulation that goes on to infinity. Nothing in our society is allowed to die, it's only allowed to fester till it a bigger problem later.
