Yoko rejects 'curse' of ageism...

[capt_buzzard]

Yoko Ono, who turned 72 last week, claimed ageism is one of society's biggest curses.

John Lennon's widow recently appeared in a New York magazine wearing a mini-skirt under the heading 'Surprisingly Sexy Septuagenarian' and says she has no intention of slowing down. "Honestly, I think ageism is much worse in this culture than either sexism or racism," I want to stop this negative attitude toward people over 40.:-2

After all, Lennon fell in love with her because the tiny word she wrote on the ceiling was "yes".

well personally i cant wait to be 40, then 50 & so on, life begins at 40 right?

koan im sure i read somewhere it was to do with an apple she had on display at her art exhibition & he asked how it could possibly cost so much?

anyway i expect as in all things, it just depends what article you read & what we choose to believe, unless we hear it straight from the horses mouth (so to speak) how can we know what is true? maybe you are right afterall

40, that's not true. Life begins at 50. I'm telling ya buttercup:D

I hope i look as good as she does at 72 when i'm 50 ( does that make sense? )

Maybe we could begin by celebrating the knowledge, wisdom and experience that comes with the years. Too often this precious commodity is either disregarded or de-valued.

Everyone has a contribution to make to the whole. Look at the colonel (kentucky fried chicken) he was 78 before he discovered his winning recipe.

What one person can do, anyone can do. Although i have to admit I am a terrible cook so that one is out for me.

Ah well back to the drawing board.
