What madness this was and is. Strong rhetoric has always been a part of American public debate. In fact, some of the strongest rhetoric in recent months has come from those who oppose conservative and family values. Moreover, consider the target of the bombing. Oklahoma City's Liberty bank building was illuminated with crosses after the disaster, to symbolize the community's deposit of faith.
Faith is written throughout the geography and the history of the heartland.
I said above that it was inappropriate for President Clinton to make comments which divided Americans on matters about which they profoundly agree. I have no desire to do the same. But this much I must say. The collapse of timeless standards of right and wrong. Time-Warner wrings profits from pouring toxic waste into the souls of the young.
