>>OFF TOPIC<< Stitch, That's a great article. Both the American Spectator and Strategic Investment also have long articles which chronicle the corruption of Mr. Clinton, and in particular with his involvement in Asia. He got the power he wanted, and we have to live with those more accurate missiles aimed at us. When will the public wake up and throw this guy out? Jack

Thanks for posting that, Stitch. I think I will pass it around to everyone I know as it coincides with my own opinion of this trip. Take care, Randy

Speaking of Tiananmen Square and the good ol' boys at WSJ: I wonder if they can sharpen their memories enough to recall 1931, when renowned President Herbert Hoover sent Gen.Douglas "Fade Away" MacArthur and his trusty aide Dwight Eisenhower to an encampment in Washington DC to disperse and shoot if necessary thousands of American WWI veterans who were camping out in protest of what they considered maltreatment as the Depression was getting into full gear. I have to say that my memory of this incident is old and fuzzy too, so I would be grateful if anyone else recalls the details. If not, I will look it up this weekend, if I have time, and will post if anyone is interested. As I fuzzily recall, several people were killed, and more were wounded. Not all is as it appears, especially when it comes to politics and journalism. The quote below is a beauty as well: "When Chinese protesters in 1989 quoted the Gettysburg Address and built their own Statue of Liberty, they were aspiring to the kind of open, honest society that Americans, too, have long treasured." When the Statue of Liberty was dedicated a hundred years ago, not one speaker/politician referred to the poem and what it actually was supposed to represent, because anti-immigrant feelings were so strong among those who had already come. The WSJ is wonderful at idealizing and falsifying US history.
