To err is to be human

The line that divides political parties is becoming more defined each day and resentment toward the impeachment proceedings is escalating.

One could conclude this sentiment is a direct result of the moral witch hunt that has monopolized the media.

The one recurring sentiment is that America and its people have hit a moral all-time low.

Moral self-righteousness and proclaiming one's flawless moral character provokes others to seek contradictions.

The uncovering of Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry J. Hyde's affair is one of those many findings.

To say that as a country, we need to return to the morals of our founding fathers, barely has a feeble leg to stand on.

Shall we return to the morals of Thomas Jefferson, who impregnated his slave mistress?

To say we as a society have hit a moral low is unfounded, and distracts from issues begging for attention today - issues we can impact such as education, childcare and equal rights.

A step in the right direction is to understand we are only human, prone to accidents and mistakes.

To admit one's faults may heighten vulnerability, but it is empowering.
