Patrick Kennedy…the future of politics?

The other day someone accused me of being a misanthrope. I must admit I denied it and immediately looked it up because I had no idea what that meant. Well I can say it is safe to answer probably not.

America is going to have to accept that this will be the last major election cycle where every candidate is married. Lets not even touch the sexual preference issue yet. We have an entire generation on the coasts that just never bothered or is divorced with no intention to marry again.

Patrick Kennedy is a good example of this. He is open about his addiction problems and has decided not participate in matrimony. There could be a variety of reasons for that, but that is his business.

We assume that our political and industry leaders are supposed to lead a perfect family life, but is that really reasonable in this day and age. I say we enjoy the last of the old guards while we can, because the next round is going to have some surprises.
