In the USA, Brett Kavanaugh is being grilled by the senate. Now, I am no fan of President Trump or his style of leadership and I do not think sexual predators should be in high office.
However, people change and we all did stupid things in our teenage years. What matters is how we are as adults. Things that happened way back should not count against us today. My view, others may disagree.
If people were groped years and years ago, should this count against people today? I know it is sometimes hard for those assaulted to come forward sooner, but is such cases a long time is indeed a long time.

The problem with Kavanaugh is that he has been overly deceptive and seems to have been less than truthful when describing comments relating to his behaviour that were published in his high school annual. These comments, when viewed in the light of their true meaning actually boast about the type of behaviours observed and experienced by Ms. Ford. One could easily see his temperament is not one to be admired. Had he just come clean, people would have been much more forgiving I believe.
