What conflict is it exactly that "poverty"
accelerates? And, what is "poverty", the endemic kind incubated by
US slums, third world dictatorship graft, the sudden poverty of the
husband leaving, unemployment, shifting centers of world manufacturing, on and
on?
How can poverty fuel rejection of social
programs aimed to help the poor? c'MON!
I for one do not think giving poor
Africans or Chinese personal computers with internet access will allay whatever
it is that their poverty is said to accelerate. And, what a colossal waste
of money to think providing them with PC's will end their poverty.
The Bible says, "The poor ye shall always
have with you." I have always seen poor people in my 52 years. This
is more Klintonspeak, it's stupid. I am not stupid enough to believe
it. I am glad he is gone from
power and I hope no one invites him to speak.

Clinton Speaks To N.J. Hotel Owners
by JOHN
CURRAN
Associated Press Writer
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (AP) --
Former President Clinton said
Thursday he was not worried about recovering
from criticisms of
his last acts in office.
''I don't have anything
to recover from. The truth will come
out,'' he told reporters as he left a
gathering of hotel owners.
Clinton won a standing ovation for his
speech to the group and
said he was confident of his public support. ''Ask
them, here
they are,'' he said, gesturing to the audience. ''They always
get
it right, if they have enough time. It'll be fine.''
Criticized
for his last-minute pardons of fugitive financier Marc
Rich and others and
for taking gifts from the White House,
Clinton has seen his approval
ratings drop in the weeks since he
left office.
In the 35-minute
speech to the group, for which he was paid about
$100,000, Clinton talked
about earthquake relief for India and
America's place in the ''new global
economy.'' He spent about 20
minutes chatting with some of the 2,700 people
in the audience.
''I thought he was very presidential up there,'' said
Fred
Schwartz, president of the group, the Asian American Hotel
Owners
Association.
Reporters were not allowed to attend, but stood
outside the hall
with ears pressed to the closed doors.
Clinton said
in the speech that the United States should invest
in poor nations and
provide them with computers and Internet
access.
''It is obvious to
me, after eight years as president, that
poverty accelerates conflict, that
it fuels the rejection of the
economic and social programs that our future
depends on,'' he
said.
