This is grossly off-topic but I just want to explain to our foreign friends why Clinton should not be running our country. On Thu, 24 Dec 1998, Computer Room Internet Cafe wrote: Personal matter. Sure. Fine. However, in the process of trying to cover it up, he tried to mislead everyone, to the point of lying under oath. If anyone is supposed to be a role-model for all Americans, its the President. And if the President is demonstrating a lack of integrity and a contempt for the law he is sworn to uphold by trying to circumvent it, that sends a message to everyone in this country that its OK to be less than honest, resulting in a further decay of our "culture". To me, it sends another message that the government is indeed corrupt. I already knew this from watching Ronald Reagan when I was a teenager repeatedly claim that he did not recall extremely high level discussions regarding the transfer of arms to third world countries used to kill many people paid for by money gotten from the sale of arms to a then hostile nation (if he didn't remember then, he sure as hell doesn't remember now...a fitting end). I don't see what Clinton did as a small infraction at all. I see it as one more big crack in the infrastructure. He would have shown far greater character by just admitting it up front, and he would have taken away whatever fuel his enemies had to impeach him. As it is, he gave them just what they wanted, further demonstrating what a fool he is. That's not the point. I think the intent was to permanently injure his reputation, and his enemies succeeded. He's the one who turned this into a circus. Impeachment was deserved. If he wasn't such an idiot none of his escapades would have ever come to light. And don't think Hillary isn't off fucking some White House intern with a tight young ass (or engaging in threesomes will Bill & Monica). She's known all along, and you'd be naive to think otherwise. The majority of US voters are ignorant buffoons. Ignorance and apathy are their guiding principles. Americans have gotten used to expecting little more important things to tend to (like putting food on the table). Those lacking in intelligence miss the point entirely...they just don't understand the issue and thus don't see what the problem is. Anyway, please send all flames to private e-mail.
