Interesting .... a list of usenet feeds gets listed at 2.15 - listed as among the political discussions are Rush Limbaugh (fair enough) and Bill Clinton ...

Interesting since the rush fro the whitehouse in which clinton was first elected wouldn't occur for a couple more years. That makes me question the time authenticity of some of the footage.

Then at 3:12 there is a screen with a UNIX copyright notice of 1992.

If this video is 15 years old, there's something wrong here.

Political discussions may not have been limited to Bill Clinton running for President, he had a political career before that.

I know, but given that in that time-period you had Panama, Grenada, and the Iran-Iraq war (with weapons supplied by the US), the gassing of the kurds, and possibly the onset of the first Gulf war - why was Clinton being discussed?

I mean, why not, but at the same time the guy would have been 'just another politician' in the US system, unless he'd either been in a prominent senior white-house position prior or been involved in something publically controversial.
