<< Funny how the nastiest folks on these thread generally hide beneath a cloak of anonymity... >>

The most difficult arguments to counter, against Clinton, are ones of reason and are based on factual info.

The easiest arguments to counter are those that are filled with childish insults and nastiness, mostly because they defeat themselves by their own words.

Most normal people shun nastiness.

I wonder if these "nasties" are also unfriendly in their daily encounters with other people? UGH! Could you imagine having to put up with an unpleasant, rude person all day long!

Or, as one could guess by their "cloak of anonymity", perhaps they are pretty meek in real life, and they use a forum like this to feel important?

Anyway, our government is going to be focused on thousands of pages of evidence, all of which may be eventually challenged in the House and the Senate. I hope the American people really enjoy thousands of hours of endless litigation. Plus, the House, in all it's wisdom, decided to expand the inquiry, outside of the Starr investigation! I shudder when I think of the House having hearings on rumor and non substantiated gossip and inuendos. IT'S GOING TO TAKE FOREVER!

On and On and On and On and On and On and .......

If this ends up anything like the OJ trial, Congress will still be at it long after Clinton serves out his term! <g>

Regards, Bob

OT****<<Funny how the nastiest folks on these thread generally hide beneath a cloak of anonymity...>>

I hope you're not implying that everyone who chooses not to post their full names are staying anonymous for evil purposes.

Just to make sure - I use the j_b moniker because it's short and easy to type, and because I find that a certain level of anonymity is preferable to having nasty phone calls start coming to me at home or work. My last name is unusual enough, that once you know the area I live in, it's easy to get my phone number. It's happened to me before, and I prefer to not have a repeat. People on bulletin boards can get pretty ugly, as I'm sure you've noticed.

For the record - j_b stands for j(ust) B(rad). People always used to ask me if my real name was Bradley or Bradford, and I started getting miffed and would tell them - neither one, it's just Brad. I did it with such vehemence that people started calling me just Brad, or JB.

Then there's me. I can, by virtue of my name and where I live, use my real name and still be perfectly anonymous.
