FP, Breaking rules is, basically, the same thing as breaking laws. It shows disrespect for the system under which we are all living. Since you seem to consider "breaking rules" to indicate some sort of superior intelligence, then you would consider breaking of laws, such as lying under oath, to be equally intelligent. God, or whatever power you believe in, save us all!!! In your spare time, which union shop stewards have a plethora of, read "The Rise And Fall Of The Roman Empire". The United States of America is on the same downward slide under the present administration, and what would be if Gore is elected. ~H~

That's probably true, FJ, but by the same reasoning, then Gore sounds pretty whiny to complain about the cameramen breaking the rules and showing his tacky behavior. Personally I blame Lehrer for allowing Gore to interrupt, claim too much time, and be generally obnoxious. Several times, GW looked to Lehrer as if saying- "Hey- aren't there rules here?" Another alpha male argument? I dunno- to me it's just expected good gamesmenship to play by the rules upon which you previously agree.
