> The things that really matter are things like Clinton's mistreatment of Monica Lewinsky, and what that means for women like your daughter. IMHO.< "Helen honey, if you ever are invited into the office of the Big Guy - keep your mouth shut at all times. " I think the Clinton thing is just another ripple in a great pool of corruption. Monica is telegenic enough to hold the press' attention for mor than three days.

Okay, I'm gonna clamber on the soapbox for just a sec. Yall know what Divx is? It's a digital disk format for movies. It'll only play on a Divx-ready machine. The key feature of these machines is that they are phone-linked to a central account. After two free days, the machine charges you every time you play the movie. It's pay-per-view - for life. (Don't confuse it with DVD - you buy that and you own it, and can play it on a friend's machine. Who are the biggest boosters of Divx? Disney and Lucasfilm. Bastards. That alone is enough to keep me in analog tapes. Helen can play those eighty times - and all I paid was $5 for a bootleg tape. Bastards.
