This is a story that's always felt close to me as I attended functions at the Watergate in the early 70s and worked for the FBI (in Washington and in a field office) during that time. What's happened to us? I swear we used to be better people.
Re-reading All the President's Men. Where are the reporters now who would work that hard to find out the truth instead of working for ratings? And where are the lawmakers who stand for the rule of law instead of power?
@jose_salcedo Mormon god holds your family hostage. They're taught (I was very active Mormon for yrs) only those who are most righteous will be with their families in heaven. If you don't measure up, you won't be with your family. One of many reasons I quit believing in god & left the church.
@jvharris_1965 We lived in a very small rural town. I have no idea where the operator was when you dialed '0' but my 3 yr old sister dialed it one day & told the operator she wanted to talk to her mama who was at the "barber peuler." The operator found my mom at the one hair salon in town.
