HI Jackie,
I agree completely. The sad part of this entire fiasco is that there is
probably an element of truth in EVERY person's statements and comments
about what really happened. The problem comes when the truth becomes
exaggerated with details that probably did not happen. Then everyone who
is observing this can, rightfully, cast doubts about EVERYTHING that a
person says. As usual, the truth probably exists somewhere in between.
But I hope that not many people adopt the stance that women mus always
stick up for other women, or men for other men, or Republicans for other
Republicans, Dems for Dems, etc. etc. regardless of what the evidence and
the facts are.
Bill
