Tejek Re...The analogy wasn't about killing.......it was about the impact that the two events had on two different aspects of our culture. In that way, I think its an apt analogy.<<<<<<< LOL ..LOL....LOL. Excuse me for rolling on the floor busting a gut laughing over that one. Any one who considers the impact of an election comparable to the killing thousands of people, millions of lost jobs, and the destruction of Afghanistan comparable; isn't exactly rowing with all of his oars in the water. <<<<There are people on this thread who can't let go of their feelings re Clinton but you want people to let go of election, 2000<<<<< Finally, you just may have found subjects with a comparable impact. They both are minor in importance and both should be dropped. I like that attitude......its believing you can't be defeated that often leads to defeat.<<<<<< I would be willing to bet that kind of attitude leads to victory more often than defeat. And I suspect he loves this country as much as you do. Besides, we are each entitled to our own opinions.<<< And Alec said that he would move out of the country if GW won the election. Guess what. GW won. Now he should keep his word.

Ted, <There are people on this thread who can't let go of their feelings re Clinton but you want people to let go of election, 2000.> I don't see ANYONE comparing the Clinton sex scandal to 9/11. Why is it OK for Baldwin to compare something equally as petty to 9/11? Maybe he'd also like to compare Indecision 2000 to Pearl Harbor, given that he co-starred in a movie depicting the events around the latter. (Unfortunately, I watched that movie. Thirty minutes of nice action surrounded by 2.5 hours of fluff.) Tenchusatsu
