Soros..you REMAIN..CLUELESS..I posted this elsewhere and will repeat it here.. lol..anyone who thinks ONE person can have that much influence on anything and is either ready to praise or criticize that one person for the success or failure of any enterprise is ultra naive imo. Just like some biz mag lauding this CEO for this and trashing someone else for some downturn in sales. That is akin to the monarchy where the king is given all credit. Or none at all. ..belief in an opinion is blinding and unhealthy the "morals" changed even before Clinton took office. Look at the way popular TV changed before Clinton came in. Why even the book "Sex" was released before Clinton got elected. So was Sr. Bush responsible for it? The S&L crisis and remember Keating and Milken and Siegel and Boesky and Neal Bush? So were Sr. Bush and Reagan collectively or individually responsible for all that those folks did? Or the birth of MTV that motivated an entire generation and still does with increasingly outrageous stuff (hardly any music videos last time I checked)? It is a process of evolution. That evolves (not necessarily improves all the time) with time..this corruption, decay, rebuilding. Idiots still cling on to something, that ONE thing that helps THEM in explaining all the evils and good things in the world. Ah if it were only so simple. Clinton (or any other President for that matter) in, things are bad. Folks become decadent and morally corrupt. Some other president comes in promising and exuding moral uprightness, and people (and CEOs of all people) change. Voila ! Overnight ! or in 4 years. Simplicity is good. Not always though. Problem is folks want to believe in something. Not because that is the truth. Because it gives them comfort and explains the unexplained. And they can then blame someone else..find a single-point contact or source for ills and cures. Just my opinion..of course !
