Now this sentence is great--truth and facts in the same breath. The fact is: Thomas was not convicted of perjury therefore he can not be called a perjuror except by silly people who think because a word may be similar it is the same thing. Your belief and your right to say that you believe he is a perjuror is fine. I hope you don't call him a perjuror in the wrong place though or you might be facing a little problem. > I will admit we cannot fully know the > earth is round, that Al Capone was a racketeer and that Clarence Thomas is a > perjurer. Sometimes close is good enough. I believe there is empirical evidence that the earth is more round than flat and I believe Capone was convicted of a crime and there are also I believe facts that show him to be a racketeer. Clarence Thomas does not fit into this category--there are no facts to support this, only your belief based on the fact he wouldn't take a lie detector and Anita did. > > > Your modesty is enchanting but your flawless performance on the test has to > be acknowledged by your admission you read it LOL--I never said I read it, merely that I flunked it. : ).
