The sad thing is that very often 'old geezers' also have/had qualities that are not accepted in a just society. Geezers, in my experience, often speak/spoke utter balderdash about blacks, Catholics, Jews, the vigilante mindset, law - as it pertains to others, the acceptance and use of epithets, women's role(s) in society. I"m sure everyone can think of other examples.

Geezers are one of the reasons that "political correctness" became necessary.

IMO
