Hi Byron,
Long time since we last spoke. Still hangin'.
Presidents are all the equivalent of alpha dogs, pack leaders, if you will. Their actions, both the dogs and the Presidents, should be judged in the same dispassionate manner, something the people of other countries do matter-of-factly. Instead, we bury ourselves in piety, and fill the media with scandal progress reports, hanging on the latest word from the Independent Persecutor, while the rest of the world laughs at our denial of these unfortunate realities.
I can think of a few founding fathers who dipped their pens in more than one well, too, but Americans were never bombarded with such personal information (current cost for Starr's effort is approaching $90 million) about the private lives of Jefferson, Franklin, Roosevelt or Eisenhower, not to menton the Kennedy's or Rev. MLK.
Just had a minute, don't post much, so don't expect an ongoing discourse on it, but I'm sick of this mess and the effect it's having.
