Having recently read [Ex-President] William Clinton's article, I was left simply aghast by his [seemingly] Conservative Political Sentiments.... Particularly, with those surrounding the value and meaning of mere word's! Isn't this the same guy, who questioned the very meaning of, "What 'Is' is?" To put it more succinctly, He questioned how narrow-minded America had [factually] become - when "Oral Sex" might be defined as a form [or type] of "Sex," or an "Oral Sex Act" could be honestly considered a "Sexual Act!" And now, he has the unmitigated gall to proclaim himself an arbiter of acceptable language and/or meaning?

Yes, Mr. Clinton, Words do matter! They mattered long before you were ever elected to office, and they will continue to matter long after you are dead and gone! The shame is that You never thought of this concept prior to: "Swearing An Oath to your Presidential Office," while making all of those campaign promises, or when you were sitting at that lovely oaken presidential desk.... Even now, you are merely utilizing words to silence your political opponents... rather than, speaking in: "The Spirit Of Truth!"
