I personally think we should keep these world events on this thread
cynically measured in terms of the effect on the price of crude oil,and leave Clinton bashing or defending the Clinton threads,and the views regards one's own personal feelings on Kosovo to the Kosovo thread.
I have found people on these threads that like and respect each other until they found out they have different political viewpoints--
one of the greatest true stories I ever heard is the story of Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart.
The lifelong friendship between Hank and Jimmy was legendary,it was
one of the greatest friendship's in Hollywood history--so how is it that the staunchly conservative Republican(Jimmy Stewart) and the staunchly liberal Democrat(Henry Fonda) accomplish this?
Here is the true story.
Hank and Jimmy started together as actors in New York city,they
lived together and "starved" together,and they both had a strong sense of true friendship,but they started to get into political arguments and one day it erupted into a brawl,their emotions got so hot.
After they got exhausted wrestling and punching, Jimmy said to Hank
in that Jimmy manner "You know Hank your my friend,my best friend,but Hank let's take an oath NEVER to talk politics with each other again"
and Hank agreed and they shook hands on it.
And in the 40 ensuing years of that great frienship,they,it is believed never broke that vow.
I found,somehow.a geat meaning in that story. Max90
