let us not be doomed
Laura of Miscellaneous Musings cites several pieces about Hillary, all by Brits, interestingly enough. A few days ago I expressed the hope that people remember what she really is like (here). Are their memories so easy to dismiss? Am I almost alone in remembering how furious everyone was during the last months of Clinton's second term? The vitriol, the disgust, the anger . . . . I wonder if eight years is too long to be president, or at least too long when there's no chance of revving up again for a third term. The active person begins to become the former president around year 5.5. You know how you prepare for something big in your life? Like when the last child is about to leave for college and you know your life will change significantly so you begin to pick little fights with each other and then it seems partly a relief when the moment actually comes? I think this may be like that, a bit. It might be good to remember that those who do not remember the past are doomed to repeat it. Keep that thought.
