Ageist, yes I am very guilty. The question I have is when was the last time you met a truly open minded senior citizen? One who was truly not afraid of to try something new? One whose mind was not made up 40 years ago? I am sure some are out there, I unfortunately have not met one yet.
That said. I do however, treat my elders with respect and listen to them when they have something to say. They certainly have valid concerns, and valuable experience to learn from.
