What became of the adage, “People will treat you — any-way-You-Let-them?”

During Dr. Ford’s interview she never mentioned one word about how sorry she was for going to a house party (drinking party) with upper-class students.

Nor did Dr. Ford reiterate as a 15 year old she regrets her mistake.

Life can be like this: we occasionally do things we later regret after it is too late to correct. This could explain the anger from an audience of women with similar experiences who never spoke up.

As a bystander I ponder over Dr. Ford’s therapist — why would an intelligent woman, capable of earning multiple impressive degrees, still be in therapy over an event (?) from 34 years ago? Unless, she recently hooked up with the therapist for support during her recent interview?

Before we nail anyone to the cross remember, we all make mistakes, some believe there is no growth in learning if we do not make mistakes.

How we recover from our mistakes and move on is a measure of our growth. A learning curve, so to speak.

Dr. Ford’s mistake was to allow someone/or a collective of someones to convince her a confession (personal attack) of an event (?) 34 years ago was necessary, at this time. Not to say it did not have merit at the time, rather because it was beyond a reasonable statute of limitations.

My first-born and only son was killed in a hit-and-run walking a short distance home from a church picnic: The same church had kicked me out after my grandfather gave me a new car for Christmas when I was 16.

That’s Life!
