I'm still waiting for him to explain Clinton.

So Clinton's got "The Truth". Or a better approximation than Marlowe has. Clinton got things done. From interns to perjury to campaign laundering. And he still walked out without a scratch. Sounds like that meets Marlowe's definition of "Truth".

I suppose it's some sort of Mercantile Theory of [Real] Enlightenment now reaching its zenith: symbolic logic as [Real] Enlightenment.. (Now ya can Prove.. Yup.. it's Real alright!) (One has to sprinkle in the [Real]s for reminding the rest of us: his deductions are Real-close to The Truth; close enough for government work anyway..) {sigh} Omnes animus post coitum triste. So.. Get Fucked! is really a plea to seek therapy.. Great Spirit! please protect me from the wrath of Those Who Know\ufffd

He damaged our military preparedness, and looted Social Security, both to create a bogus budget surplus. He sold our foreign policy to the highest bidder, and the victims at the WTC footed the bill. And then when us tech R&D types boosted the economy with our creativity, he hogged the credit. What a class act. But I wouldn't expect you to appreciate the subtle distinction between hype and reality. In fact, it kind of figures you'd love such a blatant fraud as Clinton. [link\|http://www.angelfire.com/ca3/marlowe/index.html\|http://www.angelfir...e/index.html] Truth is that which is the case. Accept no substitutes. If competence is considered "hubris" then may I and my country always be as "arrogant" as we can possibly manage.
Post #29,963 by Brandioch 2/27/02 10:54:04 AM Reply	Thus proving my point. Here on Earth, Clinton's net contribution was negative. He damaged our military preparedness, and looted Social Security, both to create a bogus budget surplus. He sold our foreign policy to the highest bidder, and the victims at the WTC footed the bill. Which was that >YOU< determine what "works" based upon >YOUR< opinion. And then when us tech R&D types boosted the economy with our creativity, he hogged the credit. Oh my, this is getting downright pathological. "...us tech R&D....." So, you've accomplished more than Clinton did? Oh, you're looking at his "net contribution". That's what determines whether he has "The Truth" or not. Which, I guess, is something different than "what works", which, if you will recall, was your earlier definition of "The Truth". So, Clinton getting elected TWICE isn't evidence of "what works" or accomplishing something. Well, it is, but it's offset by what you claim he did in damage. Like I said before, your version of "The Truth" is nothing more than your opinion. And you will always find something in your opinion to support your opinion. Clinton accomplished MORE than you ever will. And he was RE-ELECTED. Again, evidence that what he was doing "worked". But now you have to find other aspects to counter the aspects that meet your prior criteria. Let me guess, you also believe in phrenology. Or, at least you base your definition of "The Truth" on a similar background.
