<Two medical journals recently cited studies concluding that old fogies are less grumpy than younger persons.
According to the published accounts, persons older than age 60 often avoid problems rather than confronting them directly,
”When they do feel upset, they’re more likely to wait to see if things improve rather than yell or argue,” said one researcher.
Who the hell did the researchers study? Lobotomized zombies?
Psychology Today and The Journal of Gerontology obviously have not read The Editor's rants for the past 329 weeks.
Older persons simply don’t have the luxury of time to wait for either short- or long-term solutions to what bugs them.
Nor are Old Farts reluctant to vent their spleens on any issue. Just ask the Fruitcake Lady. (12 JUNE 2005)
