The default position for retirement is: travel/holidays, looking after the grandchildren, visiting your financial adviser, profiting from investments, voting conservative, supporting the Status Quo, asking no questions, not rocking the boat, just doing what everyone else is doing.....
Sports, must watch T.V., tickets, restaurants, shopping.....
These things are economically approved activities.
But now that we are retired we are no longer subject to the philosophy of the corporations.
We can think and do as we please.
We can support Internet activism.
We can volunteer.
We can support important issues like Climate Change and Gun Control.
We can vote Socialist.
We can challenge corporate greed and corruption.
We can campaign for peace.
We can support the United Nations.
We can investigate religion and spirituality.
We can live again!
