-OT- blankmind, Let's not clutter the Vivus thread with this political stuff. I know I started it. See me in the coffee shop if you want to beat this dead horse. My initial remarks regarding this stuff came because one day I voiced my being sick and tired of seeing this stuff every day on TV etc. I should have kept my mouth shut. Had I known we had such politically sensitive Vivus investors I would have known better.

O/T: Since there's nothing happening with this stock, I figure, why not? Bill Clinton's agenda is Bill Clinton, PERIOD. Look at the friends of Bill (FOB,) many of them have done jail time or been publicly disgraced. He remains relatively unscathed. He doesn't appear to have much of a conscience, if any. The fact that he chooses not to step down tells me something. He couldn't care less about the USA - only Bill Clinton. I feel sorry for his daughter. Another FOB I guess. Interesting letter to the editor in one of the Seattle newspapers. A local Boy Scout troop leader wrote in asking if maybe they shouldn't waste their time teaching kids about honor, decency, honesty, and other things that seem to have lost favor. He had a good point. VLAD, I disagree with your comparing bank robbery to whatever seems to have happened while BC has been in office. That "relative" concept is a slippery slope. FWIW, I did write a letter to Jim McDermott in January of 1998 asking about the presidency. Had some material enclosed with the letter. Didn't hear a word. McDermott is a good democrat. Nothing like democracy. VLAD: I was a corporate pilot in Texas from 1981 - 1985. Regardless of what you choose to believe, I KNOW what was going on down there, especially Arkansas. So does George Bush, so does BC, and so do a WHOLE lot of others. The present issue with Clinton is the tip of the iceberg. It takes money to win an election, and that appears to be where he really has had to compromise. Tyson Foods, trucking interests, etc., all provided much needed assistance. And BC isn't the only recipient. Anyway, hope the market stays strong. Want to avoid any social unrest. Time to step of this soapbox. Regards.
