I did it for laughs, Mickey. I actually kind of like Clinton. He's an awful cynic, but I like him anyway.

Here's the straight truth: there is absolutely no point in hating anyone, it does you serious harm and it may do them harm too. If you were to end up on an island with someone you disliked, hated, etc...it would be a tremendous opportunity to do a whole lot of maturing fast and get over it...and learn to appreciate what's valuable about them.

This would, of course, depend partly on their attitude. If they tried to kill you in spite of your good intentions, then I would recommend a good self-defence technique sufficient to frustrate their purpose and make them reconsider the wisdom of having such a bad attitude.

Now that I've gone and totally screwed the premise of this thread, I think I'll have a nice relaxing cup of tea... :-)
