« It is easy for us to criticize the prejudices of our grandfathers, from which our fathers freed themselves. It is more difficult to distance ourselves from our own views, so that we can dispassionately search for prejudices among the beliefs and values we hold. » (Peter Singer, Practical Ethics. Yes, I know he is talking about specism.)
National Youth Rights Day is today, organised by the NYRA (
National Youth Rights Association), aiming for a less ageist world, lowering the drinking and voting age, and equal treatment under the law.
