Even today, here on DU, I read multiple posts deriding young Americans and being blatantly ageist by arguing against their opinions based solely on the fact that they are young.

I am not young, but I certainly don't believe that my age magically makes me superior to anyone younger, especially not when it comes to opinions and positions on issues that will ultimately be the burden of those who will actually have to live through the decades those issues will impact the most.
