Are you scared enough yet?

Excuse me for writing so frankly. I can’t think of any other way of saying what is on my mind. So for the casual reader of this little (rant, rationale or reason?) piece of mind, please bear with me if I come off as sexist.
I’m disappointed in the e-community, who have spent years and untold hours each day, and are now scared to come out and say what they really think about impeachment. I read long, carefully constructed arguments for impeachment. And I also read comments which say something like “the country isn’t ready for it at this time.” But where do you, dear commenter, stand? What do you think? Don’t give me poll numbers. Don’t give me John Conyers. Or Nancy Pelosi. Or even the latest on your favorite blogsite. Give me your honest opinion.
I’m a woman. I’m a very senior woman. I know how things have changed over the decades. In my youth, it was frustrating to know that there were many restrictions on what I could and could not do just because I was a girl. But you know what! I always thought of myself as a human being. And early on I realized that human beings can attain their goals if they are not afraid. So I chuckled to myself when someone told me I couldn’t go here or there, because it wasn’t done. Sure, I had to accept the rules that girls--and we tended to be girls until we were married which would liberate us because some big strong man would be there to protect us--had to be locked into the dorm at ten with nary a male in the building. Of course, we were let out on Saturday and Friday nights for dates. How else would we ever catch a big strong protector!

Words to live by

I believe we should focus our efforts first and foremost against those who attacked us on September 11 and who have thus far gotten away with it. the vast majority of those who sponsored, planned and implemented the cold-blooded murder of more than 3000 Americans are still at large, still neither located, nor apprehended, much less punished and neutralized. I do not believe that we should allow ourselves to be distracted from this urgent task simply because it is proving to be more diffucult and lengthy than was predicted. Great nations persevere and then prevail...

I believe that we are perfectly capanle of staying the course in the war against Osama bin Laden and his terrorist network, while simultaneously taking the steps necessary to build an international coalition to join us in taking on Saddam Hussein in a timely fashion. If you're going after Jesse James, you ought to organize your posse first. Especially if you're already in the middle of a gunfight with somebody who's out after you.
