Hi j g cordes; This morning the TVs we keep running in the trading office (with that program with the little ticker running across the bottom of the screen) had almost nothing but Clinton on, and it was dull as hell. Of course I was trading, but the only really perjurious thing I saw was his claim that he could not remember being alone with Monica. It may be that he has successfully avoided technical perjury, but if this is so, then it is the worst disaster in our nation's recent legal history. The obvious effect would be for witnesses to avoid telling the truth, and the whole truth. I suppose they would still tell nothing but the truth. The less obvious effect would be for lawyers to have to ask numerous, extraordinarily worded questions to defendants in order to avoid semantic crap. If we, as a people, are unable to agree on what simple English means, we are unable to determine what truth or guilt are, and we should probably return to the monarchy once prevalent in the world. At least you would then know who was on your side. On the other hand, if Clinton had been before a judge, he would have been forced to answer the questions he avoided by misdirection. The judge would order him to respond. As I said before, these offenses are impeachable, but I don't think he will resign until the other Starr reports hit the fan. That should be before the election. The local democratic party operatives are horrified by what they see happening in November, according to the paper this morning. I'll post a link when I find one... -- Carl
