    Don't know how to use the Internet

    If he is Internet illiterate, then it is a mark against the candidacy of John McCain.

    But there are so many other more important reasons that McCain is not the chief that the world requires.

    We need a chief who is serious about admitting mistakes, apologizing, and setting the nation on the path toward making amends.

    The USA is responsible for so much harm around the world. So many people have been hurt. Whole societies have been harmed. Even the planet itself suffers under the load of consumption and waste that is part of a culture propagated from the USA.

    We can do better. We can create a society that doesn't do harm to itself or to the world.
