The slimmest of differences....

Dear Congressman,

Have you ever noticee that there are circumstances where minor differences between things can seem like the Grand Canyon to the casual observer.

For example, if you tell people that God spoke to you and gave you a vision for your life, they will smile, pat you on the back and tell you to "Go with God".

If, however, you tell people that several different gods spoke to you and told you to dye all your shoes pink, then the same people will make a phone call and then invite you to "Go with the nice men in the white suits".

If you graduate top of your class at John Hopkins Medical School, you are given your choose of residencies and are called doctor.

If you graduate top in your correspondence courses at the University of Central Uganda, East Nakaseke Campus, you are given an opportunity to become a resident at a number of hospitals in major cities all over the US and are called doctor.

If you are the governor of a southern state and decide on a whim to fly to Argentina to have a fling with a divorced mother of two, then you can expect to receive some criticism when you come home and face the music.

If you are the governor of a southern state and decide on a whim to fly to Argentina to have a fling with a divorced mother of two and then expect the state to pick up the tab for the trip, then you can expect to receive calls for your resignation when you come home and face the music.

Just those little subtle difference .....
