I can see that America has been ready for change, with my generation as being a participant of the “free thinker” movement. With Hilary Clinton, Barack Obama, and now Sarah Palin, and as the United States minority groups are growing at a significant rate, we are accepting of differences.
I am still debating whether I am in favor of Sarah Palin, however. One side of me thinks that McCain chose her to win over the American public, and show that he is accepting of diversity and all for “girl power.”
Being a mother who accepts her daughter’s pregnancy shows that she sticks to what she believes in being pro-life. In the meantime, doesn’t this also show that Sarah was not able to educate her children enough, about the “abstinance-only” education she enforces in the educational system? Can a woman, who has a vision for abstinance-only education, handle America as a nation when she was not able to transcend that vision to her own daughter?
On the OTHER hand (I know, I seem to be going back and forth here and playing a game of tag with each side), a woman like herself will likely relate to hundreds of thounsands of women in the United States who also have to deal with teenagers growing up. This supports the fact that she’s a real woman of America, like the rest of us. She has family issues to deal with, but she deals with them and is accepting of them.
I really don’t know where I stand right now, I see equal positives and negatives, but at least I know that I grew up with the generation that was beginning to accept equality in real terms.
