Agism is the notion that people cease to be people， cease
to be the same people or become people of a distinct and
inferior kind， by virtue of having lived a specified
number of years. The eighteenth-century French natu-
ralist Georges Buffon said， \"to the philosopher， old
age must be considered a prejudice.\" Agism is that
prejudice. Like racism， which it resembles， it is based on
fear， folklore and the hang-ups of a few unlovable
people who propagate these. Like racism， it needs to be
met by information， contradiction and， when necessary，
confrontation. And the people v~ho are being victimized
have to stand up for themselves ]~n order to put it down.
