"elemental" part of the way we think and work that a discussion of it would seem oddly out of place, perhaps quaint.
Also, I'm suggesting that it made Clinton seem weak-particularly to the neoconsters who dug and tore up things around him like a coon at a garbage can.

I will allow that the attacks on Clinton did, by extension, reflect on us because they emboldened the bullies to reinforce and practice their disparaging act.

I am not wishing to tar the entire republican party, although I do at times, because normal people can get caught up in things and wind up in a mob mentality moment or some other silly season shenanigans. If I were to dismiss them out of hand it would mean dismissing a big part of myself; we are not so different.

One of the first ways we need to cooperate is in the area of law and order: we have to get back to a rule of law that admits of no exceptions, at least in the area of law makers and executors.
Those whose business it is to handle the laws ought to be held to a higher standard, but they must be held to at least the same standard as is the rest of the populace and the intentional breaking of important laws, specifically promulgated to regulate them, has to have proportional consequences.

The Odd Squad that has driven this country into bankruptcy and has broken law after law, national and international, as well as failed miserably at Ethics 101, has to be held accountable and responsible.
