Anti-aging, we all want it, some of us spend way too much money trying to make it happen, and most of us are in denial when it does not happen. Reality would suggest we are all living an illusion, in a very deluded state of mind. Anti-aging and American democracy go well together, you know, for the people by the people... not. For us to have any belief in the cosmetic anti-aging story is to show that we are about as short on gray matter as those who think that our elected politicians are always honest and work for our good.
