On Aging.3

It seems to me that this campaign gets it exactly wrong: what sort of person tells his grandparents who to vote for? Clearly, we're supposed to be sitting at our grandparents's feet absorbing their wisdom. This is the sort of thing, frankly, that upsets me more than particular economic policies.

P.S. I was discussing being 25 with someone who also turned 25 lately, and she pointed out that we are fully adults--now we can rent cars. I don't think that "they"'re keeping anything else from us except senior citizen's discounts.
