Letter Writer: Old But Not Obsolete

I can still ride my bike, swim in the lake, and am also capable of making informed decisions, despite my advanced age of 65. I am what Tyler Wilson would call an "old white woman." Racism, sexism, homophobia and ageism all amount to the same thing and it's not pretty; it's called prejudice. Fortunately, I know many young people who do not subscribe to Mr. Wilson's narrow view of the world. They don't view the over-50 group as obsolete, uncaring and irrelevant. Our esteemed entertainment critic has clearly been raised on the fast food diet of youth worshipping junk that Hollywood spews forth, by the ton, on a daily basis/Karen Lawson, CDA Press. More here.

Question (for AARP Baby Boomers & older): Do you fit the stereotype that youngers gens have of Seasoned Citizens?
