Stating the obvious

Nature doesn't care about the emotional well-being of older people. It's about the continuation of the species -- in other words, children.

    wha...?

    what a bizarre, smug-sounding article. I don't get it.

    Nature doesn't care about the emotional well-being of older people.

    Nature doesn't care about the emotional well-being of anyone, really. Let's all be unhappy and deny ourselves pleasure and go back and live in the 50's? Whatever. I've always found Keillor boring and self-satisfied, but this one was really odd.
