Terminology
by astropurr
Great article about powerful people 80 and older. But could you please lose the term "geezer"? There's no need to be derogatory about people of any age group. Why is it that people who would recoil in horror at the N-word, and who would never think of using a slur against a gay person, think it's fine to demean seniors? As the article proves, these are older Americans who are still going strong and exerting a great amount of influence. (I would object equally to calling people under 21 "punks.") Up with pride for achievers of all ages. Down with ageism!
