Subject: RE: Jane Fonda's exploits, please read
Oh, please! This thing -- the "100 women" thing -- was first posted some THREE YEARS AGO, and it's been kicking around ever since. I don't even know which "100 women" poll or list was involved, or even if there was such a list. Trolls such as this inflame old passions to NO GOOD USE. What the hell did we live through the 60s and 70s for, to just bust each others' chops because of what well-intentioned (or even ill-intentioned) folks did 30 years ago?

And they take our attention away from real problems and risks of the day, such as stealing elections. I sometimes wonder if some of this isn't intentional. I wonder if some of the Republican "horror" at Bill Clinton's extra-marital antics wasn't pure calculation, designed to make sure that the next Democratic candidate would distance himself as far as possible from one of the most savvy and successful politicians of the century. And it worked.

We're being taken in, folks! Note that I say this now so I can say "I told you so!" in the unfortunately not-so-distant future.
