Should there be a maximum driving age?

I think there should be mandatory yearly driving tests once you reach a certain age. When one is retired, if they're doing that much driving, then they should have no problem taking one day out of their non-working life to prove their skills that they use frequently and use well since they seem to be driving all the time.

If they don't drive that often, then they probably are either being driven places or don't have responsibilities that require them to travel; therefore, they can take one day out of their extremely lax non-working life schedule to prove that they can still keep up with the required standards of the road in order to keep their license for the off-chance they might need to drive.

State IDs should be issued to seniors who don't pass the test so that they can still have legal identification and a mandatory two-week test probation period should be issued in order to urge seniors who just miss passing the test to humble themselves and possibly study the material in order to pass like younger driver do. It will refresh their memories of driving laws that have since changed or been created and force them to know a wide variety of information in order to arm them for driving in the U.S.

Clearly, you can tell I'm not a smoker.

Hospital Quits Hiring Smokers, Introduces Nicotine Tests For Medical Workers

"Smokers in the medical field now have another reason to quit as a Pennsylvania hospital has said it will no longer hire smokers and is introducing nicotine tests in order to enforce the rule. Geisinger Health System's smoke-free health policy will go into effect on Feb. 1, according to KKTV.com."

I'm pro-this ^^^. I feel that this "discrimination" as some would call it is akin to insurance companies doing screenings for pre-existing health conditions.

Intrinsically, insurance providers and hospitals are both businesses in a sense where they have to make money for the simple fact of employing people who are capable of providing adequate if not exemplary services to the citizens that require them; therefore, in order to assure the best service possible and the biggest profit for padding their wallets and upgrading services for the future, wouldn't a hospital want to make sure they have employees who are smaller health risks for a completely elective negative health concern. 

Someone can't help having hypertension if it's genetic; however, smoking, despite the validity of nicotine addiction, is elective and brought upon oneself and has more negative consequences that effect more people than just the person who partakes in the cigarette than the temporary benefits. The smoking in and of itself can be a personal choice; however, if it infringes on others, is that fair?

The thoughts that go through my mind

I sometimes can't even believe myself.

I know that other people out there have these moments as well. You'll engage in a behavior or think a thought and then come to the realization shortly afterwards that you're an idiot.

I hate nothing more on this planet than the sense of wasted time. The fact that we spend roughly a third of our lives asleep makes me an insomniac in and of itself; however, when I realize that I've wasted time in my precious waking hours, it honestly makes me quite upset.

I make so many decisions every day that are going to somehow hinder me in the future; a horrible butterfly effect, if you will. I prime myself to believe that the people I choose to surround myself with are those who are best for me; non sequitur, I hate that feeling of wanting something something pretty badly and then realizing your efforts were for naught.

Sometimes you just can't know until it's too late, I guess.

That's life, though. Fucking growing pains.
