this week, Chuck Norris belittled John McCain bec. of his age of 72. he said that Mike Huckabee, age 53 is of sound mind and body so he's more fit to serve as our president. John McCain took it in stride and joked that he'd like to call his mother, age 95 to come and wash his mouth, of Norris, that is, laughs. oh well. discrimination in age, race, gender and religion, you name it, are not left out of the equation in the search for the next commander in chief of this country, but would it matter? more likely John Mccain will be the republican flag bearer and Hillary will be ours, the democrat. and i'm really not very optimistic for a war hero with his sacrifice, integity and always voted with his concience might be our next president and for the first time i really won't mind. even though i won't vote for him i think, at age 72, this man is ready and deserving to hold that highest office of the land. and i saw his mom last year. she's still lucid, healthy and a very lovely lady. wow, what a woman. i'm envious which i seldom am of anything :> and besides he visited J.C.'s catholic school then when he was in a race with George Bush for the nomination but lost. hmn, i wonder where were those pics now :) but really, a man of honor, a former POW and with humor is not bad at all to run this country, given the chance, as the old late former pres. Ronald Reagan did...once...and i like him :)
so would age matter in politics or any other aspects in our lives? i know in the Phil. there is age discrimination in finding jobs, just flip the ad section. there is a quote in age bracket as to what they would like to hire but not in the U.S. for such employer will be sued big time. and really age is just one aspect or just one part of the whole pie or the picture. for there are older people that thinks like younger kids and vice versa, laughs. oh well. after all they say that age is just but a number. how true, laughs. and you better believe that for all including you will grow old someday and no escaping to this reality of life in this planet earth...so be kind to the old, be very understanding to the aged, for you'll be in their shoes someday, not unless you'll die young...
