That loyal and partisan Democrat, Rudy Giuliani, who proudly spoke at the Democratic convention in Boston about how the treasonous Republican party made his job so much harder....oh, wait a second, something's wrong with the previous statement. This is a total non-sequatar. What does Rudi's poltics (or more precisely Rudi's political ambitions) have to do with Brin's assertion that Clinton promulgated techniques developed in New York (as I remember it the police chief Braton - a democrat - was the chief archtiect of this policy? Rudi and Bratton fell out over Bratton (at least in Rudi's mind) taking too much credit. This is a problem with some of your arguements. Rather than refute Brin's statement that crime went down under Clinton, you make a clever but irrelevant comment. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
