Parola Perspective: One of the most important lessons NOT learned by the American voter, as result of Watergate, was that the system worked.

Folks, one of THE most important lessons NOT learned by the American voter, as a result of Watergate, was that the system worked!

Stop and think about it: Because of freedom of the press, Woodward and Bernstein were able to force an investigation of the POTUS. Congress did its job by investigating. The courts did their job by forcing Nixon to hand over the tapes.

But, instead of being proud of how our system worked like the Founding Fathers designed it to do, instead we lumped it in with Vietnam as another example of not being able to trust our government.

What's come out of that? A cynical voting public electing increasingly more cynical politicians.
