Bateman, Thomas Aquinas wrote some interesting things, however, I'm not a big fan of arguments based on appeals to natural law
Bill Clinton said "more rather than less; sooner rather than later".
He said that in public, indirectly, to the American people. I expect people to keep their word. Rather than keep his word, Clinton has done a rope-a-dope - letting Mike McCurry, Rahm Emanuel, Paul Begala, Ann Lewis, and James Carville fight his battles for him (more like changing the battlefield). I find that dishonorable and cowardly in a man who is the Commander-in-Chief.
Some of us will choose to ignore personal sexual pecadillos. Others won't. Others may take the approach that while yes, marriages do have their ups and downs and human beings are fallible and do things they regret, there comes a point where someone goes over the line to the extent that you really do have to question their judgement. I think we've reached that point with President Clinton.
Whatever lack of good judgement lead him into a still unspecified relationship with a 21-year old intern is probably the same lack of good judgement that caused him to jeopradize our national security interests re: recent technology transfers to the PRC.
Good trading,
