When Clinton was asked if he had sex with that person, his best answer of 'It's none of your business.' would have killed the problem right then and there, as the private acts would have had no impact on being Commander-in-Chief telling a polite fib because he wouldn't have answered.

Don't ask, don't tell?

Well someone asked and he told. And he should have. The President of the United States serves the citizens publicly. What he does when he was not, or no longer is the prez may be more open to debate. When in office, with few exceptions, the business of the president is also the business of the people.

Suppose Richard Nixon said the same thing about the Watergate Tape recordings? It was his personal business of recording his conversations. Or was it? Some presidents chose to tape, while others did not. There was no rule or mandate requiring such. However, I digress.

And to say that his private acts had no bearing on being commander-in-chief could be debated. It would've depended on the timing and how he responded. In all likelihood, it mattered little. However other world leaders have lost battles and wars because their inferiors were too timid to approach them at critical times for fear of "disturbing the boss" when he was in a compromised position - of his own doing. Hitler is one example that comes to mind.

More importantly, at least from this observer, is the role model qualities a president evokes, especially on the nation's young. What can one say to a youngster (concerning an act that might be illegal, unethical, or immoral,) who wishes to copy a similar act as the president, invoking the claim, "well, if the president can do it, why can't I"?

Nevermind the consequences of their actions. Or for that matter the President's.

There seems to be two sides to every story. One is right and the other wrong. Can one overlook (all) the gray?

P.S. Concerning your quote about none of your business, what about the Monica factor? She had no say?

bob: old science and new science is beginning to prove that gays ARE born that way. tell me, when did you decide to be straight?

regarding the schools. no one is teaching right or wrong about gays or how to be gay (as if they could). if anything, they are telling kids that they are out there and no different than you or i. you can't ignore millions of people, anymore than folks can ignore the fact that blacks, chinese, etc, are out there and no different than you or i, which they tried to do in the past. do you think, not mentioning it, makes it not so.

as i said, ur a good man bob, i like you, but your religion is blinding you a bit too much, as to what is real and what is fantasy. the book is 2000yrs old, we don't live in that place anymore. we know more now. taking the book literally is dangerous and causes hatred and wars.

If people took the book more literally in its entirety rather than pulling loopholes (so-to-speak) out of it, we might experience less of the woes that are wreaked on the world today.

Sadly, ignorance is bliss. Or so it seems that way. To many. None of us happen to be perfect. However it seems that more investigation would be a good idea. By everyone.
