Summary: I am sure everyone has heard, "Respect your elders." My philosophy on that is this. Why do I have to respect someone just because they have lived longer than me. That doesn't mean I have to respect them. It could mean they have some great input and ideas, but in no way does that mean I have to respect me. they can earn my respect but that is the only way they are going to get it. David Frum (http://www.thedailybeast.com/davidfrum.html) wrote an interesting article in the latest Newsweek (http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/06/24/david-frum-on-how-we-need-to-learn-to-say-no-to-the-elderly.html) and talked about how the elderly are making roads unsafe and making our future unsafe as well. The only other drivers like them on the road are teenagers and those are the ones that the elderly are actually hurting with their ability to live longer. So what to do about it? Well, ironically Greece has a great answer for the driving issue, not the money problem. we all know that. Kent and Todd share some ideas about how to approach this delicate subject that nobody in politics wants to deal with. Don't make the elderly mad, because they will get even. But maybe all we really need to do is listen and that could lead us to a greater future.
