Yes.  We will have to fend for ourselves.  It may be harsh, but no
more so than we are doing now whenever we raise our heads above the
herd and look past the edge of the status quo.  If we are planning to
live longer than the norm, we are probably also planning to live
comfortably above the norm.  Along the way I believe "our" politics
should be about ensuring that those who plan are not abused by those
who do not plan.  Honestly I'm not sure what 'our' politics actually
are in this case, so please educate me if my assumption is completely
incorrect.
