[AAACE-NLA] "Mayberry Machiavelli's"

[Eileen Eckert]

Catherine and others,
One statement you made, Catherine, struck a chord with me:
"But I am still in denial--I cannot believe people who claim
to live here, with such a document as the one we live under
and have lived under for so many years, can so easily do
such a violation of long-standing principle."

I'm responding to your statement as a general reflection of how many 
Americans feel; I'm not trying to argue that you personally <can't possibly> 
or <shouldn't> feel that way. Please try to keep that in mind if I sound 
harsh.
