"Simple question. Which is more important - whether Hillary Clinton is a lesbian or not, or the fact that Dumbya has gotten hundreds of thousands of people killed in his senseless war based on a pack of lies? " I could not care less whether or not Hillary is a lesbian and I have said so repeatedly. You and your comrades seem to have some serious reading comprehension problems. So the importance of that issue comes up as a zero on my personal measures. I have never voted for a Bush but have to consider the President's representation and leadership as carrying some personal concern. I have expressed my opinion of him personally on a number of occasions. In summary: I would not feel comfortable sitting down with him at my table in friendly conversation. I would, however, be polite and cordial to him. He seems to be well prep'd for speaking engagements and to be 'handled'. So I would label him a howdy doody Texan for more than one reason. That being, his mannerisms as well as the strings that may be getting manipulated behind the scenes. Regarding the War: It is a sad fact of life that brutal and corrupt men occasionally gain an upper hand with which to build Empires under which they brutally oppress our fellow human beings. The previous blah blah I sent to you was directly related to my perspective on that fact. Regarding Bush's Responsibility or any leader's responsibility in confronting the issue of brutal tyranny and related terrorism you seem to over look a very basic factor in human psychology. When the motive to accomplishing any goal is disruption or aggression, no effective measure is known to be effective except overwhelming control measures directed at stopping the disruption or aggression. This often results in an escalation of the disruption or aggression prior to its elimination. Any responsible leader would recognize this, and all of us must either accept our responsibility to stand against brutal tyranny or surrender to it. As a distraction to these simple facts we have political agendas that become entangled in what could be simple resolutions to these issues. When people surrender to a philosophy of supporting 'lesser evils' it can make the future seem overwhelmingly lost to all hope. Personally I refuse to surrender to the partisan extremism represented by such obvious agendized sound bites as ... "...the fact that Dumbya has gotten hundreds of thousands of people killed in his senseless war based on a pack of lies?" It is however, fine with me if y'all like marching to those drums. blah blah over, Gem
