And, no doubt the real woman whose life story is the subject of "North Country" suffered much worse than you can imagine, as well. Believe it or not, hard work, good work, qualifications, kindness, goodness, etc. can still all add up to a big nothing in this country, no matter who is in power, because there is so much corruption, greed, power plays, you name it, just as there has always been, throughout history, in every era.

Yes, it's a shame we live in such a terrible country.

Good grief.

No, our country is good. The principles of our founding fathers were good then, and good today. And, my previous public support on this forum dureing an election was still support well placed, in my view, even now.

But, individuals can be bad. And, this is still a shock to me, even now. Yes, Nazi Germany happened. Yes, teachers union leaders can be corrupt, and at times, amazingly to Dem voters, unions have roughed up people pretty badly, as there is actually such a thing as union violence. And, yes, even the UN can have a scandal and harm the poorest of people. Sometimes, all this, and more, is depressing.

But, Neil French's DEATH BY BLOG was a GOOD THING, in my view. And, who knows, maybe his resignation OPENS a door, and paves the way for a talented woman to FINALLY break through...
