HI Terry,
Actually, if you took time to think about it, it's not really cynicism
but a simple statement of the way these things usually turn out. If,
indeed, the truth is actually known. You should spend some time
listening to the various parties in divorce cases. LOL.....talk about
two disparate sides to the respective stories. If you are truly
searching for the truth, then you'll look somewhere in between the two
stories.
However, if you are looking for a truth that supports your prejudiced or
biased sense of what that truth SHOULD be, then you can continue to
believe what you do.
I think it's obvious that this is the kind of prejudice that convinced
our forefathers to institute the innocent until proven guilty phrasing in
the Constitution.
Unfortunately for the political foes of Clinton, accusations do not
translate into facts.
Bill
