Exactly, you've got the "Bigger Picture" so Clintonese is perfectly understandable to you. I'm not good at it yet, so I guess until I am able to rethink my position (In lieu of your Bigger Picture), I should allow people good at Clintonese to tell me what to think and how to think; and stop drawing simple conclusions based on common sense. I'm just not going to get it. Part of the problem is that with Clintonese I need to be ready to let the definitions of terms to slip so that they fit the Bigger Picture (defined by someone who thinks with more political brilliance and depth than I am capable of), and never label that process (especially not lying to my face, while knowing I know they are lying to my face; and that They know, I know, they are lying to my face but that I should just go along for the sake of the Big Picture). If any problems do arise in this, I need to show "tolerance" by not holding the people in charge of the "Big Picure" responsible for their behavior. In fact, we need to always foist responsibility onto the ones drawing logical conclusions, not on the behavior of the ones who don't want responsibility (sorry, "intolerance") related to their behavior.
Now I did the best I could but it looks like, I'm still a little stuck in the Old English way of communicating so I apologize ahead of time, if you don't know "What the hell I'm talking about." Now get over it. |
