yes, now I see the difference between a lie and a perjury. Thanks for the explanation, Apple. Just a side consideration. I still believe Bill Clinton was a bit of a "victim" because of his office. Had he been a plumber, an accountant, a postman and not the most powerful man in the world, I guess he wouldn't have been sued for sexual harassment or whatever the charge was nor a blue spotted dress would have been kept uncleaned. Which is disgusting, IMO. He just behaved like 99,99% of men would under the same circumstances, lies included. Trouble is he happened to be the President of the USA and this changes the pattern dramatically.


I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
