Is there only one thing to do today?

Will you join the millions who will watch THE HEARING? Of course, I'm talking about the Kavanaugh hearing. It sounds as though this is the most important thing that has happened this year, if not this decade. How many stations will carry it? How much is this costing us? How much time have our leaders spent on this rather than on more important matters, for example our failing infrastructure? Is it analogous to the battles in the Forum when Rome was failing, as we are now? Why can't we smarten up?
