Bill, the point really is who cares,I certainly don't,in fact this is it for me here. Enough time is wasted on this crap,no one cares,only the fringe reactionaries on both sides. I have work to do,I have school to do,and the fascination of America with such crap only tells me this society is going downhill. Maybe we should eliminate the constitution totally,and go towards an anarchic state. Noam Chomsky must have ulcers as big as Pavorotti over this crap,I certainly do. I have had enough of this crap,I have too many things to do,the quest for knowledge is what I seek. I follow Tolstoy and Ghandi,and maybe Emile Durkheim,and Chomsky,this is all bullshit. Life is too short for me to waste with this shit. Did you see the survey today? Only 7% of the country thinks foreign affairs are important. Tell that to me if China devalues,the Hong Kong Peg collapses,the Euro sinks,and the US goes down with the global economy. It has been this way through history,no one cares about anything beyond our borders. In the poll to be published in Sunday editions of the Chicago Tribune, 66 percent of the respondents said they approved of the job Clinton was doing as president and 29 percent disapproved.
As for punishment, 40 percent said Clinton should be removed from office or resign because of the Monica Lewinsky scandal, while 54 percent said he should stay in office.
Also, 45 percent of those questioned had an unfavorable opinion of Clinton and 44 percent had a favorable opinion.
The poll found that 34 percent of respondents believe that economic growth is the most important presidential responsibility, followed by domestic policy at 25 percent of respondents. Eighteen percent said that moral leadership was the president's first job, and 7 percent cited foreign policy.
The poll of 700 Illinois residents was conducted September 15-17 by Market Shares Corp. of Mt. Prospect, Illinois. A poll of this size has a margin of error of plus or minus four percentage points.
It is really a sad country we live in,I am almost ready to puke. Hiram |
