I've always subscribed to the adage that we are judged by how we treat those who are beneath us.<BR/><BR/>The idea of someone being beneath us is basically an unAmerican idea since we're supposed to be a classless society where people move from one non-existent class to another simply by being smart and working hard.<BR/><BR/>But the truth is, there are social and economic hierarchies and anyone who treats people who work for a living, particularly work for a living serving <I>them</I>, should understand that part of the responsibility of holding that higher rung on the ladder is to be decent to those down below.<BR/><BR/>If for no other reason, because one might find themselves tumbling down one day and it might be nice if someone wanted to catch you.<BR/><BR/>Whew!

They can make a comparison between a Clinton White House and a Bush or Reagan White House.<BR/><BR/>Of course there are the details that follow around Presidential candidates... but those are smaller and somewhat of a different beast.
