Out of Africa

Trust is essential in any relationship however, you can trust a cheater all day long and it won’t keep him or her from cheating if they are that type. I don’t think Robert Cohen is suggesting that everyone “check up” on their mate. If someone is being cheating on I think they have a “feeling” that something isn’t right. Robert is suggesting ways to find out what you may think you know.

Not better, possibly younger. My mother dressed well, did her hair every morning, applied makeup and ALWAYS wore a dress. She colored her hair for as long as I can remember and wore it in a french twist for years.

I would like to see Caroline appointed to a cabinet position, the more women we have in politics, the better chance we have of getting a women elected for president. Obama needs to appoint some smart, experienced people ! I’m not thrilled with either one of our choices for president. Who ever is elected will have a monumental task ahead of them.

I would love to see the HBO interview too ! I have always loved the questions she asked. She is a great journalist and a treasure ! We need more women like her.

I wish WOW would celebrate women that have made contributions that have improved the lives of women living today ! Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton made it possible for women to vote, that seems more noteworthy to me than Modonna turning 50 !

I disagree that a politicians affairs are no ones business, especially if they are running for the presidency. He cheated the American people that voted for him, staff that worked for him,the people that made contributions to his campaign, his party, his wife and family and he took votes from the other candidates . I realize that everyone makes mistakes but don’t adults,especially those in public office need to be accountable for their actions ? Is a man’s character not an indication of decisions and transactions that he may make while in office ?

She has a lot of talent, I never cared for the way she marketed herself !

Anything in nature is awe inspiring to me, from the grandeur of the Grand Canyon or the mysteries of Yellow Stone, the delicate face of a pansy, the fragrance of a rose or the taste of a fresh peach. A beautiful clear blue sky, a NM sunset sometimes called a watermelon sky. The innocence in a childs face or the markings of a tabby cat, it is all wonderous ! A clear mountain stream, the majesty of an old tree, the energy of a hummingbird !The vastness of a star studded sky !

Isn’t age just a number ? I think there is something to being as old as you feel !

I hope Paul has many more productive years. Paul and Joanne have done wonderful things with their charities!

Dona, I completely agree with you that the IMPACT of the two lies is totally different ! Lying to the American people about WMDs is inexcusable ! Why weren’t we outraged ? Why didn’t we impeach Bush ? We would have had to impeach the VP, Rumsfield,Rice and who know who else.It didn’t seem to be a consideration. So if the question is which lie is worse, the lie about the war is hands down worse ! You are correct. It has been my experience that if someone lies and cheats in one area of their life they do the same in other areas of their life. Isn’t that what integrity and ethics are ? We seem to tolerate lies, and people that lie think, I’ll do what I want, I’ll deny it when I get caught, I’ll apologize and go on with my life. The worse thing is our society allows it, especially if the person is a politician, an athlete or a celebrity. Why don’t we hold people to a higher standard, especially people in the politics !

I have two more cents to add…I don’t appreciate the vulgar language !

Why is it different to lie about sex or lie about war, lying it lying. I disagree that someones personal life has nothing to do with the job a person does, if you don’t have integrity or ethics it has everything to do with the kind of person you are !

Are cheating and lying unimportant in our society, just because some have gotten by with it doesn’t make it ok, we should demand higher standards ! As a journalist, why do you find it necessary to use vulgar language ?
