The one admirable quality I find in Clinton is that he's no quitter, you do have to say that about him. Disagree. Clinton took the easy way out. He cut corners and played fast and loose with the truth, the law, his marriage vows, etc. He's the biggest quitter around. JLA

I was talking about that with my wife last night. We know a guy who, many years ago, had a small business fail, and had a nervous breakdown----- I mean literally, hospitalization, shock treatments, the works. Then, when he got out, I would run into him sometimes, and he would talk about how maybe the Soviet Union had it right after all, this competition thing was very bad. But a lot of the problem was that he had no perspective on his failure. Many business men fail, pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and try a new business. Or they discover they were not cut out for business, but search for another niche that suits them. In other words, failure, in an instance like that, is hard, but should not be devastating, in the right perspective. His inability to deal with fallibility and ordinary bad luck made him into a head case.
