And who do politicians like to have their photographs taken with? The young, babies, children: you don’t see TV footage of them on a 'walk about' of ‘care homes’ only schools and ‘youth projects.’ Maybe is because they are ‘selling a dream’ of future prosperity and being old, sick or dependant doesn’t fit in with that profile. Most of the public, unless it affects them directly, chose to ignore that getting old is an unavoidable fact of life. Now if a government were to have the ‘Department of Immortality’ think what a vote catcher that would be!
