O/T, in Sandie's defense ... I agree 100% with Sandie, and it has NOTHING to do with politics. You call this "perjury." There was a time (and a better one) wherein this would have been called "class." That was the time when people didn't "kiss and tell" ... when protecting the honor, virtue, and privacy of another woman, or a wife, or a family, whatever the cost to one personally, was considered a noble act. Concerning "perjury" ... I can cite you a hundred examples of where it is perfectly appropriate and even admirable (one would be a reporter protecting a confidential source). The key issue is whether the question should ever have been asked in the first place ... and in this case, it never should have been, and never would have been of any other citizen. The cost of this ridiculous witch-hunt, which is so far off track now that hardly anyone remembers where or why it started, will be incalculable. The wiping out of billions in the U.S. financial market owing to a loss of investor confidence in our government is only the beginning. All overseas markets will follow, and billions will become trillions. Such financial collapses historically lead to wars, starvation, and similar calamities. Gross exaggeration? Not when you consider that everything in the modern world is related to everything else. I am no fan of Clinton, and wouldn't particularly mind seeing him go, but if it happens because of an incident like this it has got to be one of the worst bargains ever struck ... one we will all live to regret for a long time to come.

quicken.excite.com or biz.yahoo.com show that earnings estimates for this Q and next have been raised to .04 and .05, yet yearly estimate remains .11. Seems to me that with .05 booked already, annual estimate should've been raised as well - to .14. Morgan Keegan knows another upward revision will be in order soon, and they'll take care of it then?? <GG> Please don't feed the bears. ..David

Hi Dave, While I cast my last election votes for the Natural Law Party, I would still rather have Mr Clinton as president than the other choices that were available. Of course, Mr Clinton is less than perfect- less than perfect in an imperfect world. If we have to live with an imperfect president, which we must do, which imperfections can we live with? Since he has been in office, Mr Clinton has made some decisions of expediency (I won't take the space to list them) that I have found very disagreeable. Other decisions I have liked very much. Some of both kinds of decisions were ethical in nature. Regarding the ethical decisions I don't like, because they are less than what I believe could have been accomplished had he been a little stronger, a little more persistent (I am not thinking of his sex life here), they are still easier for me to live with than the kinds of policies and decisions that I think some of the other past, and current would-be, candidates would pursue. By pursuing Mr Clinton via Mr Starr; by appealing to various fears and prejudices that, unfortunately are still with us in American society, and which Mr Clinton's administration has attempted to deal with in an admirable way, ethically and morally; by making these things such a big part of their very public strategy to disrupt the administration's effectiveness and its party, I believe the other party has sealed its own fate of defeat come next elections. What they have done, and attempt to do in this process, does nothing but attempt to degrade another's humanity, no matter what the high sounding label attached to this process. They have gone too far and they will come to regret it, for public opinion will continue to turn against them. As a side note, when France's Francois Mitterand passed away, those at his state funeral included not only his wife and other family, but also his mistress and his daughter from that relationship (they all sat together) The difference between this in France and what has transpired here in America is one of style and manners. Best, Charliss PS.....Go HDIE!!!
