I am very disturbed by the editorial cartoon in the Nov. 24 edition of the Shuswap Market News.

I am a senior citizen who has worked and paid taxes for many years and still pay considerable taxes.

Yes, I do have health issues from time to time. So do younger citizens.

Some day the developer of this cartoon will also be a senior. He probably has family who already are seniors.

Does he suggest that it would be better that all seniors die so they won’t keep “sucking up our social services?”

I would not want him to have “power of attorney” over my health.

Should we not rather be glad that we have so many seniors who choose this lovely place to live?
