OT: You got that right!!!!

The tragedy is that all the hoopla is meaningless. Nothing will happen because you can not legislate morality. The corruption in our system starts at the top and permeates it. When we wink and reelect an unprincipled president; when our politicians are "sold" like beer, by demographic appeal; when our laws are made by special interests, it is silly to imagine that our system will improve.

What we need now (he said with his tongue stuck firmly in his cheek) is another proponent of "situational ethics"!!! Many years ago, an acquaintance told me she did not trust anyone who was good with words. At the time, it offended me. I've learned to understand and respect her point of view.

And, yet, for all the rage such antics raise in me, it is not enough to destroy my recollections of the many upright people I've had the privilege of knowing during my lifetime. Decency may not be chic at the moment, but it hasn't disappeared from the face of the earth.
