Further evidence why old people suck ass....

This poll is just more evidence that old people suck. They have different values, and are far more prejudicial than their children/grandchildren/great grandchildren. One of the problems with everyone living older is the bigots, misogynists, and general pains in the asses don't die....ever.....they just keep living.

In so many issues it seems that the younger generation is more progressive, humane, and intelligent (come on... All people really aren't equal? Burning a non-renewable resource that can almost only be purchased from our enemies is a good energy plan? The death penalty for minors and mentally disabled people is humane? Joba belongs in the bullpen?), but they won't be able to break through and make real change until the geezers pass on. It's a shame because many of these old farts have done wonderful things in their lives and could really pass on some important knowledge. But their past biases prevent them from being taken seriously, and cause the rest of us to live in a society that is lesser than it could be.

So my advice for the gay community is to keep striving for the equality that you deserve. But don't plan on getting that equality until today's 20 somethings actually have political power. This battle is only several thousand years old, so patiently working toward equality for 10-20 years (though unacceptable), doesn't sound too terrible (I know that is easy for me to say). If our generation doesn't get the job done, I will be very disappointed in all of us.
