I agree. The root problem is not Clinton at all. He just exaggerates the problem, IMO.

Thanx Chalu2; My skills of expression drag way behind what I see, and my time is limited the seeing is not so hard, but expressing it takes me a ton of work. For the day, "Contempt prior to investigation chains man to to ignorance" The Dividians were not bad people , I need to put a human face on them, not a saintly face , as not even they would expect that, but they were good people who had a style of relating to the world beyond some simple way of explaining it. While they were at times critical of others, I don't see any real contemptuous nature in their criticisms. On the other side I see much contempt was directed at them from many sources with various motives. This contempt built up like electrons in a thunder cloud, and the Dividians were the lighting rod. In a metaphysical realm I can picture many forces of evil coming to gather taht just exploded at them. I doubt David even had time to see the magnitude of the Hate that was focused on them before the raid ever started. He knew of some of it, as did some of the upper end of his group and their attitude was. ( from the writings of one ) Perhaps it can be seen why for some of us we'd rather suffer such contempt ourselves than be found numbered amongst those who would condemn us. from " In memory of Waco" Well I could see where he was coming from. In reading the writings of some of those still in Jail, I conclude they didn't and still don't know the magnitude of the evil that hit them. What is most surprising to me is that they appear for the most part to be so damm forgiving towards that evil. They are not lamblasting the Government any where near as much as some of us who are distressed over this barbaric attack on them. For the most part they are preoccupied with still getting their message of salvation out , and it takes such a priority in their value system that I still can't see any actual contempt in them for predatory who participated in the build up and execution of the atrocity that martered the vast majority of them.
