Reply #141: Day after the Watergate break-in, when the news came out, I was overjoyed

Then, so angry that the nation was not waking up and seeing what was going on.

Watching the hearings made me proud to be an American, to have a system that could work so well. Helped me understand why it took so long to do things by the book. Still, annoyed that it took SO long for the public to wake up and get angry.

Mo Dean, sitting there behind her husband as he testified, day after day, taught me the value of patience and trust in the system working if we kept a watch over it.

Those lessons seem to have been lost to many. The nation has to re-learn everything every few years because not enough history is learned.
