Well Michael, We sure do see the world differently. <g> Re: McCain - Somehow, I didn't quite see the smoking gun in what you present as reasons to disqualify him from consideration as Presidential material. You take standard boilerplate disclosure about his wife and try to invest it with significance? You are grasping at straws on that stretch. <g> Re: Pessimistic cynic? To the contrary, I think I see American policy and business as being on a pendulum, swinging from the deregulatory excesses and fraud of an Enron to a more tightly regulated, less free wheeling business culture. We're simply starting to head back toward the latter, and I'm happy to rant and rave in order to help out the process and minimally shape opinion regarding where we need to head.... Re: Nothing President Bush has done in regard to Enron's bankrupcy has been ethically wrong I think is too early to jump to that conclusion. With the obsessive secrecy of the Administration, how are we to know? Re: everyone who sits on the board of directors of a major American company does not automatically have the integrity of a Clinton, or the morals of a Bin Ladin. Funny, I can never really understand how the Right can remain so obsessed with Clinton. He can't be re-elected to the Presidency, yet he remains a potent villain. Curious. I guess it must be much like Christopher Hitchens antipathy for Henry Kissinger. At least I can see Kissinger lining his pockets by selling out the American public via Kissinger & Associates. I'm not sure what Clinton's current sin is. Re: By the way, I'm curious, how do muster the energy to get up in the morning with that pessimistic view the world is coming to an end...? Caffeine helps. -R.
