I wish I would have been more attuned politically most of my life, but I was just living and breathing and not paying a bit of attention. I did start waking up over the Bush Jr years but really didn't look back on history much. Moving to Australia in 2002 and seeing America from the outside really woke me up, plus I married a man involved in Australian Politics, a public servant, and a history junkie, he has taught me much.

My mother followed politics religiously so during my high school years and during Watergate, I did get a brilliant overview she was always reading books and watching hearings, good or bad she watched Tom Syder faithfully, and I always stayed up with her. Once I moved out of the nest my life was a wild ride, politics? WHAT'S THAT? I regret not being politically active. But it's come around full circle and I am my mother's daughter. Again I thank you for the important information. Knowing is half the battle. This was a colourful "fun" read, of a very serious matter. I always find myself rambling too much here. LOL Proof that your column is always thought-provoking

Unfortunately, Senator Danforth could have upheld.his oath of office and our misery would have never began. Anita Hill was screwed, which is what The big C was attempting. He was a convenient black Catholic that the good ole boys club could force on us. Danforth, was money and power. Not everyone back then was videotaping with an iPhone. There were no iPhones.

However, offices and buildings had security cameras. Some of the Clarence frolicking just might be out there. He would then resign. .....uh retire.
