The finger is usually pointed at the right regarding: I mean the civil liberties.. We have good cause to fear the erosion or even loss of civil liberty if we don't stand up and work together to strenthen our constitutional rights. There are good constitutions in place in some very corrupt countries. Ours is quite young and age has a deteriorating effect on document interpretation unless vigor is regularly pumped back into it to provide meaning and purpose. The finger is usually pointed at the left for allowing basic principles of decency to be whittled at. We have good cause to fear a loss of concern for human justice when corporate execs who embessle and commit fraud as well as school age children caught cheating use president clinton as their excuse for breaches of ethics. Left wing posturing demands that we wink at the lack of concern for the ethics of the clinton years and the assault on the justice system that occurred. Right wing posturing demands that we discount the critics of civil liberty erosion. Keep pointing fingers back and forth and we can guarantee a continual erosion of ethics, liberty, justice and ultimatily the ability to effectively stand for any thing. That is our current direction and we continue to blame each other down the primrose path to our own doom. What will it take to change that phenomenon?
