With McCain's announcement of his Vice President choice, the 'equality' of the 2008 American elections have been restored. No matter who wins, this will be a historic election: the oldest candidate ever, the first woman vice president, the first non-white president. However, there will still not have been a non-white, non-male candidate. We say that we are more equal and free, but it has been jokingly said that no matter who wins, they'll get shot. What type of country is this, that this fact is a joke, worse, an accepted reality? When will we see through this all, and move to a truly equal state?
Everyone supposedly has equal rights, but how many little girls dreaming of being president have had their dreams crushed simply for their sex?
