All I know about your fine columnist Froma Harrop is what I
read in the paper. I suspected she was not a classmate of Seth Brown
- that's all. But a recent letter writer- he seemed honest and sincere
enough- deplored the amoralism of HER generation .
I can only speak for myself on this ethical generation gap, being
just months younger than THAT MAN in the White House - Bill Clinton.
I will assert that the Sixties kids were a quintessentially
ethical generation. What ,after all, was the Great Rebellion all about -
but a kinder, saner world ?
I know from my own personal life that sexual immorality can
have devastating consequences . I have seen close up the agony of
divorce and ruined families. Yes, indeed The Wages of Sin !
But I remember " growing up Catholic " that you did not focus
on the sins of your neighbor.You focused on your own.
It was immoral to throw rocks at the sinner ! And that is why
- whatever its legal justification - I was appalled by the Clinton
impeachment circus. Who were THEY ( Hyde, Gingrich & Co. ) to point
their self -righteous Republican fingers at an embarrassed and humiliated
President of the United States ?
I will always think of THEM as " The Conspirators " . If only
that eloquent Cicero were around today ! He would deliver a great
speech in the Senate : "The Asinine Conspiracy ".
As for Froma Harrop, nobody can defend her any better than she
defends herself !
