Simple Question #005a: Does Old = Prejudiced?

What is it about getting old that makes (some?) people so prejudiced? Is it the outdated intolerance of a passing generation or is it something we will contend with too? I ask because in my more honest moments, I have to admit that I feel it occasionally creeping into my head and that sucks.

I need to determine whether this is an inevitable aspect of aging or something that can be avoided with a judicial application of resistance. Am I an eventual old, grumpy, hateful bigot or am I just dealing with the same demons we all face as our minds slow down and we have something more to lose if society changes.

I tell ya, those damn kids with their spirographs and their iPods messin' up my lawn are really hoarkin' me off. Did I just say that out loud?

So, is "Old" the same this as "Prejudiced" and, if so, is that a bad thing?
