The personality of Clinton is very similar to Bryant.......they are soft spoken men whom you instinctly know would not hurt someone intentionally. I have no real evidence that Clinton ever raped or tried to rape anyone. I would not accuse him of being a rapist. But I don't think you can tell that someone is not a rapist just because they are soft spoken or intelligent or charismatic. Of course not but its less likely of them, than someone who is a loner and appears angry and hostile. Its the need for power, not abusing one's power. Clinton had more power than any one man could use in a lifetime......he didn't need to prove he was powerful in the sack. Did you not take psych. 101? I took psych 101 and 3 other psych classes. Nothing in any of them convinced me that a powerful man can not be a rapist. Not all rape is about having to prove your power, and in any case sometimes powerful men still feel the need to prove they are powerful. Then we'll have to agree to disagree. I couldn't join in with either side of this argument. Neither "Clinton is a rapist", nor "Clinton can not possibly be a rapist", has anything solid behind it. Thanks for your neutral position but I am still not inclined to think of Clinton as a rapist and frankly, if he is, I don't care. ted
