A Note on the Passing of Jimmy Carter

Following the death of Jimmy Carter, we Boomers harken back to the times of his one-term presidency.  We wonder how it’s possible that treason in the United States’ highest office, in this case clearly committed by Ronald Reagan to defeat Carter, is never prosecuted.

Even after it was revealed that Reagan had prolonged our agony so as to secure his election in 1980, was there any chance whatsoever that our Department of Justice would step in?  Eff no. He was the Gipper, beloved by Americans who couldn’t have possibly cared what crime he may have committed.

Forty-five years, later, we have Donald Trump urinating on our country and all its institutions. The only difference is that now, we’re that much further away suggesting that a U.S. president should be held accountable for his crimes.

We’re also far more poorly educated, both academically and morally.

Good luck, America.  You’re going to need it.
