Discrimination due to age is one of the great tragedies of modern life. The desire to work and be useful is what makes life worth living, and to be told your efforts are not needed because you are the wrong age is a crime.

The U.S. has had age discrimination laws since 1967 and 'pale, stale, males' as we call them have brought the most claims.

It's discrimination because of the age of most of the workers. Most of them are 50, 60-years old. The workers are ready to do anything to pressure the company to sign a fair contract.

It's the desire to have each other succeed.

Like the use of the word 'concupiscence' in an earlier age to describe sexual desire, the use of the word 'pollution' to describe essential aspects of the productive activities of an industrial society represents an attempt to defame an entirely proper human capacity by means of using an evil sounding name for it.

There are significant things that have happened since I was last in patrol. With that, my age, my heart's desire with Crime Stoppers and crime prevention and the Police Athletic League and the other programs that I've been running, I was not as interested in going back to patrol.
