DMA >>The second traumatic experience was seeing that picture of Bill and Hill dancing on the beach in swimming suits, the one where Hillary was leading with her butt. GAWWW. << Now c'mon that's not fair. While I realize "weight impaired" is the last "safe" class to show open discrimination, Hillary appears to fall within the "normal" range for her height. Plus, I think it was pretty damn brave of Hillary to allow that photo op of her and Bill in all their "physical glory". I think you guys are giving Hillary a bad rap. bp

Hillary Clinton: In Her Own Words "The basic rationale for depriving people of rights in a dependency relationship is that certain individuals are incapable or undeserving of the right to take care of themselves and consequently need social institutions specifically designed to safeguard their position. It is presumed that under the circumstances society is doing what is best for the individuals. Along with the family, past and present examples of such arrangements include marriage, slavery, and the Indian reservation system. The relative powerlessness of children makes them uniquely vulnerable to this rationale. Except for the institutionalized, who live in a state of enforced childishness, no other group is so totally dependent for its well-being on choices made by others. Obviously this dependency can be explained to a significant degree by the physical, intellectual and psychological incapacities of (some) children which render them weaker than (some) older persons. But the phenomenon must also be seen as part of the organization and ideology of the political system itself. Lacking even the basic power to vote, children are not able to exercise normal constituency powers, articulating self-interests to politicians and working toward specific goals. Young children in particular are probably not capable of organizing themselves into a political group; they must always be represented either by their parents or by established governmental or community groups organized to lobby, litigate, and exhort on their behalf. The causes of younger children have not fared well, partly because these representatives have loyalties diluted by conflicts between children's rights and their own institutional and professional goals." "Children Under the Law", Harvard Educational Review, November 1973, page 493.

DMA, you know what I think is funny? When I comment on what a fat pig Rush Limbaugh is the men here get incensed and try to defend him. Hillary is moderately overweight yeah, she could shed 20 lbs but in general shes fairly attractive. Limbaugh otoh was 100 lbs overweight for a while. An order of magnitude grosser. This is just pure appearance, in intellectual terms I could never compare these 2 individuals - I doubt Limbaugh could pass a freshman level mathematics course at Stanford.
