Some other comments on current happenings:

"If New Jersey Gov. James McGreevey was doing a poor job running his state, he should resign. If he is just resigning over a personal matter that really is of no concern to anyone other than his family, then shame on him for tendering his resignation.

I am so tired of our politics continuing to bring personal matters into the political arena. Americans may not appreciate the parliamentary system used in Canada, but at least our northern friends don't drag personal issues into the spotlight in an effort to destroy someone's political career.

It's no wonder that we can't get the best to run for the highest office in this country. If it's not the poor pay, it's the focus on personal improprieties.

For crying out loud, Thomas Jefferson had a child with his slave. In today's political environment, the flirtatious Benjamin Franklin would never have made it into any office. And what about John F. Kennedy?

Gov. McGreevey should not resign because he is married and happens to be gay. That's none of our business."

The above comments come from one letter to the editor in today's newspaper with which I totally agree.
