Not sure that my being too young infers that I can't have a grasp on the situation. My age has nothing more to do with it than your unfailing belief that the Clintons had a hand in their deaths. We obviously see it different ways, and we're approaching it from those places. Age doesn't necessarily preclude one from having a grasp on history. Matter of fact, for quite awhile in college I was extremely well-versed in Chinese history, including dynasties and the incredible changes the country went through during the last several hundred years. I was also too young to know about that (as were all of us on the forum), but I managed to figure that out. History is history. Spin is spin. Having someone (who was exposed in a later post in the thread as more or less a complete whackjob) compile a list of people who knew the President (reminder: the most powerful, influential, well-known person in the nation) that died doesn't really serve to tell us anything at all, except that the President knows a lot of people.

Well if someone would say something about the Clintons that were actually factual and not just wild, partisan speculation, it might be a bit different....

As for criticizing or being skeptical of DTS' posts...do I really need to comment on that? Trust me, I'm wildly skeptical, but there are not enough hours in a day to comment back to all of them and reminding everyone about their source and subsequent veracity. I doubt you'd find many places on this forum where I responded directly to a link DTS posted and took it as unfailingly true.....because they're not. I love reading The Nation...but I hardly consider everything they say to be true, because they obviously have a partisan agenda. It's no secret and I'm smart enough to know that people spin things the way they want them spun. (Example: Bill O'Reilly can say all he wants that he's not a Republican or a Democrat and that he's not partisan and that he doesn't spin things...but one week of watching shows otherwise [i still enjoy his show], and so can DTS, say he's not partisan. It doesn't make it true.)

Using DTS' posts as an example is faulty logic in showing that either of us jumps at everything like that....because I'm not sure very many people take those links seriously to begin with. I don't at least....for the record
