We could steam roll them. Right now we are lucky they even gave us a seat at the table and listened to us at all.

This is NOT a compromise, it is the same ageist bullshit that an entire movement has accepted and is willing to COMPROMISE its ideals for. Using their language ALLOWS them to think that this is a compromise. I know quite well that, politically, this is how things have to go: through the bureaucratic system of hierarchies and and waitling to make change. It's still ridiculous that we, ourselves, are so used to the status quo that we are willing to accept their terms WITH their language. *sigh* I’m a little irked by how we have come to consider a seriously ridiculous bit of regulation (drinking in the club a criminal offense) as a compromise.
