Old Men Syndrome (OMS)

The Old Men in the Supreme Court have done it again. Just as the Old Men in the Congress and the Senate have been. Just as the Old Men in the “largest and oldest democracies.” have been. Some wear pin striped suits and others Saffron colored adornments. Make no mistake, all of them believe the Old Men have the right to make the world right and prescribe laws for everybody.

The next generation will reject this insane notion. But there is a gap of a decade, an unfortunate decade during which time the senile old men hang on to power and make the World worse. Some are still looking for the pipes that make the internet and others trying to learn how women get pregnant and deliver babies. Some are trying to learn how voting machines work and others how to plead the fifth a thousand times when questioned. Some sought preemptive pardons after returning from church as they committed no crimes and ready to ascend to heaven at the first opportunity.

This is the Old Men Syndrome (OMS), a disease old men get when they get old. Their hardware deteriorates and they have to feel important again. For that, they will change the laws of the country upside down and seek to punish who stand for their rights. For that, they will pretend to be moral than ordinary men and women, still unable to spell “morality.” For that, they will support the worst criminal in American politics and look down on those who are not men or their color.

Pharmaceutical companies better start working on a remedy for OMS is spreading fast and taking the country down with it.
