I don't mean to belittle you. It's just that from my point of view, your political consciousness started just a few years ago. You were 12 when Clinton left office. You're 17 now?
A lot of what you believe is what you have been taught up until this point. Youth is wonderfully idealistic. I was there once, too. As we get older, we widen our experience base, and sometimes realize that the most logical things when we were young are simply impossible when we have more information. As far as I'm concerned, the world needs the idealists that haven't been through the mud. Just the perspective of an old fart. (Aren't you tired of hearing that yet???) |

I hear what you're saying, and I agree, I am an idealist. Actually, I'm a goofy hybrid between an idealist and a cynic.
I know perfectly well that Clinton lied his greasy ass off (as do all politicians), but I think that GW's lies are more serious and have more lasting effects, thus making him the "bigger liar". |

You can't be Goofy. That's what I call my Boxer/Lab. Oh well, I suppose HERE you can be.
![]() A lot of Clinton's failings led us to where we are now. We don't start a new book every time we have an administration change. The new one starts where the old one stopped. I truly respect your interest in current events. I would just advise you to take it all with a grain of salt, realize that you are fed what they want you to know, and they're all lying bastards anyway. |

I was 6 in 1992, in case anyone cares. So, Ben, you're 21? AH! My favorite years. ![]() |

Someday, I'm going to be able to use the line "If I wanted your opinion, I'd have beat it out of you!" Unfortunately, this isn't it. Someday, though. And probably never with you. ![]() Ben |
