which we all know is a form of discrimination. Therefore, your conscious being is obviously discriminating against your id. Now that is a troubling state of mind. So please do not refer to yourself as old. Age is just a number and how one lives one's life is a frame of mind. I truly enjoy reading your threads and absorbing your perspective on different issues, and there is no reflection I have seen that screamed out, "this is the perspective of an old man." 
Now, to your thread. I respect many things you say in your piece, but there is a distinct difference in where you stand and where I am standing. No disrepect intended to anyone on DU, but I do not feel all three of our candidates have an equal level of integrity. I think a person's level of honesty and trustworthiness should be given a superior weight than say an opponent's years of experience. And to go one step further, any candidate that looks into a camera and makes disingenuous statements is someone I would not want to be my political leader.
I wrote a short thread on DU recently which discussed how reputations do endure, but it did not receive a lot of attention. I do not think too many people focus on "reputation" as important as I. In that regard, I guess many readers of DU just might "see" me as AN OLD WOMAN, because of my antiquated priorities, but I can accept that.
Thanks, for the wonderful thread you have given us, and for all the good work you have done here at DU. You always leave us with something to think about, so here is something for you:
