Age and John McCain

Ronni Bennett, proprietor of the Time Goes By Blog, has initiated a conversation related to ageism and this year's presidential election. She begins the discussion with the following comment: "In the past, I have vehemently argued that to vote against Senator McCain based solely on the number of his years is ageist and morally reprehensible. I stand by that. But there is more to age than simple arithmetic." This will be an interesting conversation.
