Redeeming through a life of service

I'm not usually into thoughts of redemption for such scoundrels, but this very thoughtful article was a fresh perspective.

Edwards is No Defender of Anyone

Not a defender of the innocent, Edwards is a consummate ambulance chaser who became insanely wealthy at the expense of our increased insurance premiums. Slick campaigns and naive voters are Edward's strengths. Not too dissimilar to slick lawyering and naive jurors that he buttered for years. What is wrong -- not what is right -- about our legal system is the true picture Edwards represents.

John Edwards and the Public

John Edwards should disappear from public life.

Enough

Please no more stories on John Edwards - while an interesting read - there is war going on in Russia, two people here are running for President (Edwards is NOT one of them) - the amount of men who commit adultery is around 75% (which means that they are committing these acts with WOMEN who usually know that these men are married - this is a commentary on SOCIETY not John Edwards). Observations and studies perhaps in psychology magazines? Please return to stories on food prices, gas prices, the economy, things that actually affect the CITIZENS of these United States. It would be refreshing if the media started doing its job. Truly it would be a wonderful day indeed. However, I shall not be holding my breath.
