I tend to assume that anyone who has made it to their 70's still blindly following hand-me-down opinions is a bit of a lost cause, especially if they do so forcefully and aggressively. To be entirely blunt... it's more efficient to just wait for them to die, and work on the younger generations, than it is to try to change them.

..okay...well their grandchildren might want to communicate with them about their view though because they don't get many grandparents....if there is any mind-set changes, then they will be from the 'intolerant' and only through understanding and mutual respect/tolerance of each other, no matter how opposing their views...
