Ed: Very interesting insights. You should have been a shrink. You have done much in a few words to explain his behavior, and one can only assume there is no help for Bill other than long, painful years on the couch, if I get your drift as written at the end of the post. It's too bad because he could have been one of the greatest Presidents we've had IMO. However, he has picked some notably good people, Greenspan, Rubin, and Mondale to name three. ON TOPIC: What does anyone hear about how the meeting with AZDEQ went today? Regards, Jeff

Ed, I see you posted this on 'Gore For President' or whatever that URL is, which is a proper place. Whatever did this have to do with GPGI? How about posting info on the next shipment? or the next check?? Frankly, I'm tired of seeing and hearing all this sleeze stuff about the defilement of the oval office or areas nearby. (I'm not a Clinton supporter, either). All on this thread would love to hear good news RE gpgi, especially, if the past holds, the decline in stock price will be a buying opportunity. VBG Joe

ot Mr. F, I enjoyed your analysis of WJC's character structure. I can safely say that 80% of those I knew in psych grad school could never have outlined it as well as you did. I agree with your "findings" and in particular the issue of his lack of adult development. He possesses insufficient gravitas required of leadership precisely because he has not been able to advance beyond a pscyhological adolescence. The adolescent is characterized by an inability to self-reflect, a (an excessive) need for stimulation, adulation and a sense of belonging/being dissolved within a safe and approving collective peerdom (Erickson). It is that dissolution, or, shall we say, liquidity/transparency and lack of definition that is inconsistent with the solidity/opacity/weight of true psychological maturity. Notice that he was never accused of being an ideologue! Another adolescent sign you've alluded to is (and of greater worry here) attention to self needs at the expense of attention to the needs of the collective. He does, however, reflect the lack of maturity in our adolescent and narcissistic society (Lasch), and as such is only a mirror of ourselves. We elected him in large numbers, so we must have liked or at least been willing to overlook these characteristics! On the positive side, he is very smart, works hard and has attempted to be conscientious about his work. It's too bad that his minuses caught up with and overtook his pluses....sw
