Time for me, too, to go to bed, Scrapps (alone. :( );

I kind of miss Carter. He was and is a southern gentleman
of the first calibre. Even though I was a republican, both
then and now, I always felt that the troubles in the economy
and world affairs ascribed to him would not have been
much different under Ford.

As a people, we seem to like to believe that the POTUS
can make our economy do what we want. In fact, we are
at the mercy of economic forces that no one really
understands, and certainly no one controls.

About that House scandal involving the 17-year old page.
I think the perps should have been prosecuted to the full
extent of the law. I don't think errors made then (i.e. laxness)
should influence us now.

I now have doubts about Hyde's squeaky cleanness. On
the other hand, I don't think you need to have perfection
in the house committee in order to punish the guilty properly.
Now I am worried that Hyde will be too easy on the POTUS,
just as he was too easy in the '83 incident.

But we aspire to be a nation of laws, not men. Funny how
the democrats seem to hate the christians most of the time.
Compare that to how they quote the bible when they are
looking for foregiveness.
