EVERY PARENT

Every parent has been told a story that is factual...sort of. Most of us learn that you wait to judge until you have assessed the situation, especially if you can hear the other side.

We often find that the child has a memory that is firmly planted, but some of the facts just aren't right. Again, most of us (the exceptions are the parents who attack teachers) avoid the "rush to judgment."

In my opinion, there are three principal stories that could be completely true in the Dr. Ford-Judge Kavanaugh saga:

1.    Dr. Ford's account is completely factual, Judge Kavanaugh's account is completely false.

2.    Dr. Ford was groped and terribly frightened, but it was not Kavanaugh.

3.    Dr. Ford's memory of the ordeal was flawed due to the passage of time, trauma and alcohol.

I certainly don't know the answer, but I refuse to crucify a man who has led an honorable life according to all accounts (other than hers) based on a single point of reference. Her "witnesses" didn't help her at all.

I'll bet husbands and wives, parents and daughters all across this land have had some interesting discussions about this. Personal stuff. While the D. C. area high school culture of the 1980's was apparently charged with underage drinking and suspect behavior, I'm going to bet that there has been a lot of discussion about similar happenings around the country.

Add money and privilege, like in the D.C. area...

Judge Kavanaugh has not been confirmed, but if he is, don't you think he may have a bit different view of the cases sponsored by Democrats from now on? Remember, the Dems brought this whole thing on when they started the "nuclear option."
