Culture

Citizens with Full Names of a Unique Nature Unite!

Carroll Andrew Morse

Somehow the fact that Illinois Senator and potential 2008 Presidential contender Barrack Obama’s middle name is “Hussein” became a minor story this weekend. (I think Maureen Dowd is to blame).

In the spirit of bi-partisanship, let me state that I believe that worrying about whether someone’s middle, first, or last names fits into certain transient social conventions is the height of narrow-mindedness and a symptom of a culture, perhaps an entire society, in decline.

And could not the same be said concerning folks voting for someone just because of their name ... such as "Kennedy" or "Chafee"?
