This was an article I found about ageism that was interesting.  Although this is an older article, it puts into perspective that the number of seniors is going to double in the next few decades in the U.S.  Americans are living longer and are more active longer than in the past, but it still seems like they are being treated the same even though they are more self sufficient than past decades.
