I hope that someday we Americans have a civilization in which everyone, including the daughters of presidential candidates, take their time to be informed about what really matters. I am frankly frustrated and somewhat despairing about the American culture of insignificance, of shallowness, of avoiding the crux of the matter. She makes it her goal to keep her subject matter trivial, and she succeeds. Her success is of no value to me. In these times we need people to step up to the plate, one by one. I wish for a daughter of a president who speaks for what she believes, and who believes in SOMETHING. There are a great many pop figures who stand for emptiness and triviality. It is a sign of our times. And this young woman's blog tells you a lot about her family and her culture. Who taught her to be that way? To play the game and not discuss anything meaningful? A politician, of course. This woman's blog is an indicator as to her father's merit (or lack thereof) to be president, in my mind. If McCain had a vicious daughter who attacked him on every front and demanded that he answer her point by point, I would respect HIM more.
