> where there's currently a cult of youth
I hear that a lot. I've worried about it since mid-eighties when my father sued US Government for age discrimination. But, I've not see it.
I'm almost 40, not old enough? Maybe I got another decade or two before the kids kick me off their lawns?
Maybe cult of youth exists more in "corporate"/"enterprise" world? Where naive, cheap, workaholics are greatly desired and always in supply?
