The 42nd President of the United States of America: William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton

Are there any Presidents of the United States of America lacking in political controversy at any point in their career?

Yes, of course there are…
They’re the ones you can’t remember!


In our most recent years however, two Presidents stand out more that others, for their charismatic personality traits…President John F. Kennedy and of course, President Bill Clinton. Both gentlemen possess(ed) alluring and magnetic qualities that at times worked for them and then at other times worked against them.

In this photo you see a young and rather enthusiastic Bill Clinton shaking the hand of then President John F. Kennedy in the Rose Garden of the White House on July 24, 1963. At the time, Bill Clinton was then a delegate from Arkansas to the Boys Nation Convention. If the young Mr. Clinton was looking up to John F. Kennedy as the ideal President, then it would just go to figure that, later on in life, he would then follow suit. The only problem here is that, as our world has developed, so has media coverage to capture every little tidbit of anyone’s life that might prove to be interesting enough to sell copies. Though it is known that Kennedy was a womanizer, at the time… he was not scrutinized nearly as much as Clinton was later.

Unfortunately, from the onset of his Presidency, Bill Clinton was riddled with attacks from the American Party, preventing him from clearly focusing on the job at hand. And unfortunately for the American public, Bill Clinton’s private life (what ever privacy is afforded to a President of the United States of America), was often a less than desirable.

Monica Lewinsky at 22 years old was made famous for her sexual escapades in the oval office with President Bill Clinton in the mid to late 1990's, while she was an intern at the White House. Both she and President Clinton made their apologies publicly (more than once), but which ones were accepted? Or were they?

Stay tooned for further developments on the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal that rocked the nation!

Fallacies

Many of us use them, often without even consciously realizing it and or many of us just simply fall for them. But what are fallacies really? And why do we unintentionally get caught up in them?

A fallacy is a statement, belief, opinion or argument containing or based off of inncorrect or erroneous reasoning with invalid inferences that may seem or appear believable, thus they have a deceptive quality about them with a tendency to mislead individuals or groups.

There are many forms of fallacies... here are a few examples:

The "Slippery Slope" Fallacy assumes that in just taking one step... all is lost (at the bottom of a hill, so to speak).

The "Appeal to Probability" Fallacy assumes that because something may happen, enevitable it is going to happen and is where the principles of "Murphy's Law" comes from:

Murphy's law

THE PRIME AXIOM: In any field of scientific endeavor, anything that can go wrong, will.

2. If the possibility exists of several things going wrong, the one that will go wrong is the one that will do the most damage.

3. Everything will go wrong at one time.

3.1 That time is always when you least expect it.

4. If nothing can go wrong, something will.

5. Nothing is as easy as it looks.

6. Everything takes longer than you think.

7. Left to themselves, things always go from bad to worse.

8. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.

9. Given the most inappropriate time for something to go wrong, that's when it will occur.

10. Mother Nature is a... biznich.

10.1 The universe is not indifferent to intelligence, it is actively hostile to it.

11. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlookedsomething.

12. If in any problem you find yourself doing an immense amount of work, the answer can be obtained by simple inspection.

13. Never make anything simple and efficient when a way can be found to make it complex and wonderful.

14. If it doesn't fit, use a bigger hammer.

15. In an instrument or device characterized by a number of plus-or-minus errors, the total error will be the sum of all the errors adding in the same direction.

16. In any given calculation, the fault will never be placed if more than one person is involved.

16.1 In any given discovery, the credit will never be properly placed if more than one person is involved.

17. All warranty and guarantee clauses become invalid upon payment of the final invoice.

18. Murphy's Law: "If there are two or more ways to do something, and one of those ways can result in a catastrophe, then someone will do it."

Fallacies of The "Ad Hominem" (meaning, against the person) and the "Tu Quoque" (or, "you too!") focuses the attention on people instead of the evidence for the argument at hand.

The "Fallacy of Revelence", also known as a "Red Herring" takes place when someone successfully distracts others with information irrelevant to the current argument, as to be "thrown off track", so to speak.

Due to my extensive difficulties and lack of ability to upload a video for your convenience, I invite you to go to the link below to view information regarding "Red Herrings". Enjoy!
