was a governing public official, the two situations are not related. Was your friend's husband a rape apologist who will be in a position to be making decisions on women's lives? If not, the two situations are not related.

Is platner liviing a life familiar to many of us? If our parents are upper class, if we went to private schools, if our father loaned us the money to buy our house, if our mother is apparently the sole customer of our business, yes. Did he go to war? Yes. Is he dealing with PTSD? According to the VA, yes. Is he recently married? Yes. Is it possible he is learning from his mistakes? Yes.

For ALL our sakes, I truly hope that those who support him are the ones who are correct.
