At the Forum Saturday, a woman addressed Hahn about the concept of the Legislature being a group of Old White Men over the age of 70. Hahn didn't appreciate it, and during the Forum break got quite verbal with her. He did in fact act like a old white man. Maybe its time for Old White Hahn to retire.

Will Old Man Hahn quit?

Why would you want him to quit for being upset at an exhibition of racial and age bias? Don't we have laws against that kind of prejudice? |

Actually there are several such laws. Two most prominent: The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (as amended), and The Civil Rights Act of 1964, for instance.
These prohibit discrimination by employers based on age or race. Since we the citizens employ our representatives to represent us, we cannot discriminate because of age or race.
