Discrimination – Alive and Well

One of the interesting nuances of this year’s presidential campaign is the blatant age discrimination being leveled against John McCain. The fact that Mr. McCain is 70+ years of age has become the wellspring of comedic material for the late-night talk show circuit, the editorial cartoonist’s brush and the politcal talking heads of the news networks. Being over 70 has somehow become a liability, whereas in other cultures those of advanced years are honored and respected.
Whatever the merits or failings of John McCain, age should be a factor just as much as race is a factor: neither should be a factor at all.
