Ignorance

Are old people really that ignorant? Does my grandfather truly believe homosexual people are less smart, less able and less educated? Do old people truly not see the error in their ways or are they convinced that all the young folk are crazy and blind to what their years of "wisdom" have told them? How do they raise fully capable and accepting people? I think it may be my foolish immaturity shining through but I hate when people make their age an excuse to be ignorant. You are supposed to have all this knowledge we are striving for this life experience that we can only attain after a hard life. Well, Rock Hudson was gay and now he isn't your hero, but Bing Crosby abused his kids and White Christmas is still a great film. There will never be a time when I stop caring. Old age is not an excuse to stop learning or to stop caring what other people think. I can use a fax machine with no instructions and run a blogspot, how's that for wisdom?
