You are right. Many people do hold the stereotype that old people are either crazy or nice and wise grandparents. But like most stereotypes most people do not fit this mold. I think as America overall ages and more voting rights go to people who are of retirement to geriatric age we will see a dramatic change in American law, services, lifestyles, and culture. As a relatively young person this does scare me a little, because I often feel that older people are such dedicated voters the young American voice is not heard and our issues as future leaders are ignored in an effort for candidates to get support and election. This would be an interesting thing to bring up with students who are a generation or two younger then most teachers.
