Dear Editor:
As a Christian, I believe we all have the obligation to stand against immorality. I had a great weekend and one thing that grabbed my attention was our prior President Bill Clinton introducing his book on the Larry King Live television show. In the interview he seemed a very repentant man. I voted for him twice; I admire his vision and what he had done for the economy and stock market. In his eight years as president, the millionaires doubled. Not only in America, but all over the world.
In my opinion, during those eight years money was available for everyone. I believe almost all people in the world know who is the president of the USA. When America has the flu, all the world coughs. Most people in the world look to our president as the Catholic’s look to the Pope. Bill Clinton is interesting to listen to. He doesn’t have any “blah, blah, blah.”
He may have been the greatest president this county has ever had. Now the bad part.
His sexual behavior destroyed most of what he worked for. His behavior set a very bad example for the young people of the world.
With the new technology, bad news travels faster than the speed of light. I hope his immoral behavior wasn’t contagious. If it was, he contaminated the entire world.
He apologized and seemed repentant, but in my opinion I do not think his apology is enough to heal the damage he did. I hope he will be able to live in peace. To me, this guilt will be his companion until the last days of his life. As a Christian I forgive him. I hope you do too. I’m almost sure the Republicans don’t want to forgive him. Politics.
We all tried to forgive President Nixon who is a Republican.
We enjoyed the Horse Show Parade. I was glad to take my wife after she had been ill. She really enjoyed this, and it was a healing process for her. I attended the three-day horse show, which I enjoy very much. The most important think was no one was hurt.
I remember 40 years ago when I worked at Bolado Park, somebody went to the concession and asked for a glass of water. They charged them ten cents for the glass of water. It almost caused a fist fight. That was the first time I heard of a charge for water.
Saturday it was hot. I went and bought a bottle of water. They charged me $2. I was shocked. The incident from 40 years ago came to my mind. I think to myself this expense I’m going to save for tomorrow. The next day, the water was gone. Someone thought it was gold. I can afford a bottle of water, but the young maybe not.
This is only my opinion.
