nineteen august ninety eight one a m society's codes don't apply At The Institvte we have something called Zephyr which is rather like AOL's Instant Messenger or ICQ, except that there is no "click here to get your message" - it pops up right on your screen the instand someone sends it. "Zephyr" is a good name for these messages, as they are ephemeral as the wind; if you click on it, it's gone, and unless you've done some sneaky configuration, it's never coming back again. I remembered how to save this one, which Nonelvis sent after reading the previous postcard. You know, grumpybutt, I told you to read Primary Colors. It may be fictionalized, but I think it explains this kind of behavior perfectly. I don't think Clinton is so unprincipled as to think he's done anything wrong, but I do think he views events from an almost sociopathic point of view - his moral code is different from that of society, and society's codes can never apply to him. It is a genuine shame that a man of such obvious political gifts has such serious personal failings. And perhaps it is equally shameful that I think regardless of his personal failings, he probably hasn't done anything to merit impeachment. I said I wasn't going to say anything else about Clinton, so I didn't. She did. In the morning: A different topic. © columbine |
