Yet another time that the 20-50 year old people are still left out. They always seem to skip that age group in all services no matter what happens.

I am not saying it is the right thing to do, but I would imagine the excuse is that that is the age gtoup that is ususlly the one best able to take care of themselves.

It just annoys me, the age based stuff, businesses tend to consider age 40 as being retired many times, so they don't hire that age, since people are not getting out of high school until 18 most times then going into college, the people going through higher education are being left out completely. It's not the fault of the programs, it just bothers me.

I agree. The world is so full of "isms" that they are hard to jeep track of. And when we try to correct one, we invariably discriminate against another, Wish I had the answer, but I don't.
