You make some good points, VB, and well. People like the Clintons have been around since the beginning of the human race, and the human garbage you describe are some of them. Their ubiquity is just one more excellent reason why decent people must be in power (in other words, why character counts).

Thanks... I personally have always known that there are people of dubious character all over the place. What is the hardest for me to deal with is their effect on my impressionable and young children. It becomes tougher and tougher to stand up for character and morality and anything of value today - and expect your kids to listen, when society disdains you. For our part, we try very hard to instill what we believe are good values into our children. They are members of Boy Scouts, we surround ourselves with friends and family who share our values, we watch very, very carefully what they learn at school, we have taken charge of their religious instruction (as our church is imploding from [homo]sexual scandal). But it is dismaying. For myself, I've become less complacent, now that I have teenage children, and I'm more willing to take on those lacking character. I'm tired of PC-stupidity (and sometimes evil), and I hope I have the strength to defend my values when necessary. There is nothing more important to me than having my kids grow up to be good Christians. All else for me is secondary.

One bright spot - our current president appears to be one decent and good person - as well as having a great deal of common sense and fortitude. I'm not afraid to have our children listen to him.
