Bill, lets take this conversation in a different direction. There's no way you're going to be persuaded that Clinton isn't anything but impeachable and I respect your opinions even though I think they're not in the best interest of the country. But you made an interesting statement in your last response which might be worth looking into.. "Stop accusing regular people of being jerks, just to make Clinton look regular." I'd like to know how many people are dishonest when they feel they can get away with it. Time Magazine recently ran an article on honesty asking how many regularly "white lie" in day to day business dealings. An amazing 95% said they lied at least a little. It would be interesting to know what the "regular" person actually does with truth telling. Is it practical or absolute? How great is the average person's distance between the complete truth and what people actually say and do? And what about promises? What about shading truth so as to not cause greater harm? Back to work..
