p>Going back to the future would not be all bad in this instance. br> -- Ken Shreve br> New Hampshire /p>

It pains me to even mildly disagree with the usually infallible Mr. Tyrrell, but the use of the word dignity in the same sentence with John McCain is a laugh. Call me old-fashioned and many have, but McCain's dastardly treatment of his first wife who stood steadfast during his POW days is a moral outrage if not a crime. Emerging from Vietnam divorcing this faithful spouse and marrying a wealthy woman to finance his political career certainly brings to mind the well known Frenchman Mr. Kerry.

p>McCain's career since then, starting with his role in the "Keating Five," has been a moral disaster almost as bad as his treatment of his first wife. One could also easily conclude that if McCain's admiral father had not gotten him into the Naval Academy the "gentleman from the West" might well be working the window at a McDonald's just as in a more fair world Clinton and her husband would be in the slammer for their crimes against humanity, the state, and various criminal statutes. br> -- Jack Wheatley br> Royal Oak, Michigan /p> p> IT'S NOT THE ECONOMY, STUPID br> Re: Ivan Osorio & Gabriel Heller Sahlgren's What Race to the Bottom?
