Just finished watching "Confirmation"

I was all into the live broadcast when it happened. I believe Anita Hill then. I believe her even more now. I worked with a female attorney who also worked with Thomas at the EEOC. She personally confirmed Thomas's behavior and was angry (get this) at Anita Hill for destroying Thomas's reputation. It was harmless office foreplay and she was angry because Thomas was the supervisor giving her referrals to prime jobs in the Federal government. She hated Anita Hill for her exposing CT. Can you imagine that?

We now have at least two sexual predators sitting on the Supreme Court. Something ought to be able to be done about that. Thomas has lived up to his reputation as unqualified Uncle Tom in the minds of most blacks.

shows that when people get benefits from corruption they will not harm their own self-interest. Hence, when our leaders are raking in money, even from our national enemies, they will not blame themselves. Will not take responsibility. The rich will not enact laws to reign in their benefits, even now that it means mass species extinction.
