From plastic surgery, up to and including the injection of toxic chemicals into our faces, to the Balkanization, if not outright exile of those over a certain age. The rendering of people, mostly women over 45 years of age to almost invisibility by the mass media. It is plain to see that we as a whole are not dealing with the natural progress of aging well.

The 58-year old mother of five and wife of an ill husband, Maksad worked on cooperative farms for much of her life. She married and … [Read more...]
