Darrell, a couple of things: I was too wasted to do anything worthwhile but separate some chaff. Your Hey Ignorant qualified there, as did your past posts.
I was stunned to see you had met my complaint that you do not express your opinions, only use others. A couple of paragraphs is a novel to you. I felt honored.
Additionally, instead of your usual haphazard reprint, you were reposting the 'facts' I'd been using in my effort to understand Clinton. I felt proud of you.
As to your comments, I have not maintained his sexcapades had begun with Monica, quite the contrary, all his adult life. My point has been that there is Improvement in how he deals with this behavior. I think your reprint confirms this.
The introduction of 'victim' to this discussion is counterproductive. I am not turning the facts of his sexual aggression inside out. No, what he did was wrong in all eyes. What he continues to do is distasteful to many. The environment is cited, as is the genetic, to understand the forces he had to contend with. This must be understood to know whether and how much his behavior was aberrant. Otherwise character becomes a function of inheriting healthy genes and inheriting advantaged rearing.
I look at the influences of the man to understand, not to blame. Blame is a function that properly follows understanding. Even the rough ways of the law look at reasons not to charge, or to dismiss, before a verdict. I agree that extenuating circumstances should not be used as grounds for a verdict reversal. I am still investigating; you have already passed judgement.
There is no doubt that in my economic politics, I seldom lean as far toward the Ghengis Khan economics as most, at least on this web site. I don't see a lot of economic reprints from you, so I assume you are also not too economically inclined. Socialist smears seem out of place.
I do see a lot of political reprints, and my political interests lean away from policies and infighting and more to personal and psychological complexities. So I find little to use from your posts. And your understanding of my politics abysmal, boy. |
