-- [ From: Seymour Gross * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] -- Dale, I've been watching parts of the impeachment hearings, also, and was mesmerized by Dale Bumpers' talk the other night -(I didn't get to open the book I'm reading, "The Color of Water" by James McBride which I had been looking forward to) it brought history alive for me - the founding fathers thoughts and accomplishments are so relevant to today's events and will obviously influence the senate decision to continue or not, as well as the public's perception. What I found to be mind boggling as this whole thing unravelled, was the hypocricy and venom expressed by those who pushed for impeachment - the "youthful indescretion of a 46 year old," another fathering a child while married to another and not giving it his name, another having had a 15 year affair with a married man and touting family values, another touting anti-abortion dialogue and yet not doing what he could to prevent an abortion on a personal level, and so on and on. I also recall seeing bumper stickers 6 years ago which read, "Impeach Clinton, and Her Husband, too" so when the opportunities presented themselves it's almost no wonder that all this followed. Along with all this though, despite protestations to the contrary, congress has not buckled down to the important matter which concern us, but obviusly not them.
