Gould,
Don't you think the most prolific poster has set the tone for discussions in
rec.boats?

I think we are each responsible for our own deportment. Calling names because
"TMPP started it!" is not adult behavior.

You normally discuss issues and not personalities, I like to believe that
most people even though who did not like Clinton's policies wish him no ill
will.

And didn't I commend our right wing contingent for not jumping on the "hope he
dies" band wagon? It isn't inconceivable that the same people who have accused
Bill Clinton of murdering 18-20 people during his presidency would express some
hope that he, himself, would now die.

What was your problem with his speech?

1. It contradicted statements he has made about John Kerry within the last
couple of years. Was he lying then, or lying now?

2. The accusations were not based on fact. He simply repeated the same lies
that Kerry has cast specific votes against
all of those individual weapons programs.

3. It represents where our country is going.
If the founding fathers could have seen how their brave experiment in self
government was going to deteriorate into the polarized, hateful mess we see
today, they would have saved us all a lot of bother and simply crowned George
Washington king.
