FIGHTING GEEZERS |
 |
The U.S. has over 260 million potential and actual old people. Even the very young and innocent of today will become old people eventually if they are lucky. Yet instead of respecting and protecting the old, our society tends to discount them and assume that their increasingly short life expectancy makes them irrelevant public wards. This manual, after humorously but not frivolously accentuating the predicament of the aging, proposes ways to bring about their empowerment. For one thing there is a large number of aging citizens in the country, growing larger, and in numbers there can be strength. Multiple ways to assert the relevancy (or else) of the aging are suggested – they are funny but there is truth in all the solutions proposed here. |  |

Fighting Geezers has a broad market in the United States and its cultural colonies throughout the world – wherever English is spoken. It is a ringer at the 10-items-or-less check-out counter at supermarkets, where the aging, who buy in small quantities, tend to congregate. Only doctors with a fabulous sense of humor will buy it, however, because the manual shows little respect for the medical profession. Ages 55-110 and all those planning to reach that plateau. |  |
