Mr. Luker, world history is indeed replete with examples of..."tyrants and oppressors" but the worst of them have litte affect on me, I grant there is some greater residual affect on many people, e.g., there are still people around that survived Hitler and Stalin and their cruelty and wars and there are those who survived Mao's Red Guard. The Clintons are students of history, they, especially Hillary, have studied and used the political machinations of "tyrants and oppressors" plus those of lesser bullies in the socialist inclined cultures of Europe, to gain their end. I innocently believed the revolution our pathetic ragtag anarchists wanted in the 60s had died but I was wrong, it has risen from its ashes in the person of Hillary Clinton. She hasn't adapted the baggy clothing and beret of the Russian revolutionaries and Che Guevera types but if it would help gain votes she would. Professor Grimsley would serve us all better to consider this Clinton inevitable phenomenon rather than discussing assholes at such great length, although I repeat myself. I realize he considers himself at the cutting edge of open debate in discussing assholes, it is kind of cute but not serious.
