[lbo-talk] John Ross, 1938-2011

[Dissenting Wren]

Yes....it seemed easier when I was 23!  Seriously, living in an unheated attic 
in the homeless shelter you're running while having no income to speak of and no 
health insurance seems just fine when you're invincible.  And some of the people 
I was doing that with are doing it still, past the age of fifty.  But it's 
tough.  The older revolutionaries I know all, at a certain point in their lives, 
decided to pursue stable sources of income, with guarantees of employer-provided 
health insurance, pensions, etc. far more certain than Doug-the-wimp's 
freelancing.

Didn't it seem easier once upon a time? This is a question for those age 50 and 
above.
