The ugly face of ageism


Let it hang: We think were never too old to try new tricks, but society seems to tell us otherwise.

Age discrimination grows as the years slip by.

It seems to me that no matter what age we are, we’re never at the right age to do everything we want to do. For example, when I was 16 and too young to have a driver’s licence, I asked my father if I could take his car for a slow drive down a quiet country lane near our house.
