Michael, I hear you but I disagree with you. I am not happy with the extent of corruption in public office. However, I know that the matter is not limited to the Clinton administration. It is a wide ranging social problem. I suspect that if Starr was to spend 32 million investigating your business and personal life he would be able to cast a great deal of suspicion on you, find something you did illegal, and then prosecute you for obstruction of justice and lying when you did not coorperate in your own lynching. Sounds perverse doesn't it? But that is the legal system.

Michael, Michael, Michael, I am compelled to momentarily come out of lurk mode and respond to this statement you make to the effect that the Clinton Adminstration is the most corrupt in history. Not So, my good man! Every Administration, including and particularly President George Washington (remember his expense account?) has been riddled with corruption far worse than what is alleged in the Clinton Administration. Please, let us not forget President Andrew Jackson and his Kitchen Cabinet or President Andrew Johnson and his impeachment problems. How about President Warren G. Harding and the Teapot Dome Scandal? Even the now much beloved President Harry S Truman had his Tammany Hall problems. Fast-forwarding to the contemporary or most recent Administrations, we come to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George Bush and we find Irangate, the savings and loan mess, foreign and domestic wars and political uprisings waged for purposes other than our National Security, etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum, There seems to be something about many of us Boomers that makes us think that every event currently making the news is the worst or most egregious of its kind. It is that same pattern of thinking that once caused so many of us Boomers to refer to the Patty Hearst Case as The Crime of the Century. Not so on all counts. Y'all don't suppose that media manipulation sort of encourages this type of thinking (or nonthinking), do you? I again invite all my fellow threadsters to this most insightful thread here at SI. It clarifies the events of the day in a way that no other source has quite been able to acomplish. It'll really blow you all away! I guarantee! exchange2000.com Back to lurking, for now.
