The thing with Carter is that he kept trying his whole life. There were a lot of successes, and a fair amount of failures. But he kept trying to be as useful a person as he could be.
Would Scott have supported him against Reagan? Surely not. But that doesn’t mean we can’t recognize character.
Maybe even the main effects. I recall my father, already in the throes of early dementia, being prescribed one medication to raise his blood pressure, and another to lower it (from the same doctor).
When he switched doctors, the new physician axed both of them (and cut his total number of prescription meds from 16 down to about 5).
That’s why I got. My mother handed me a book she’d bought from Our Sunday Visitor (a Catholic paper). She said to let me know if I had any questions. Dad never mentioned the subject at all.
