Caroline Kennedy: Noblesse Oblige

I have not closely followed the life of Caroline Kennedy, but she strikes me as an intelligent, sensible person who carries the privilege and burden of her family's legacy with grace and dignity.

I am firmly opposed to her appointment to the U.S. Senate, however, because I am firmly opposed to the nepotism that has become commonplace in our politics, whether the name be Bush, Biden, or Kennedy. This is not supposed to be an aristocracy.
