Yes- I know exactly how serious they are. I always give a serious response and am not posturing for an audience- so I know exactly what this is about. But no matter.
Let's see, I do not admire Mr Clinton for what he has done. I do not think he is a good or moral person no matter how much he talks about God and forgiveness, and prays on his knees to his God. God may be forgiving in his own very weird way, but I am not. It is important to remember the vows people break, and it is important to use stigma and moral opprobrium where appropriate.. I do not think blow jobs are the equivalent of sex for some people, but they are the same thing for me. What I would tell his daughter is that his shame is not hers. Although it is always unfair when your parents expose you to humiliation for their actions it is by no means a rare occurrence- I would remind her there are men who sleep with their daughters, and who knock around or even kill their wives and children, or who drink until they fall down. I would suggest she try to find some way to use her experience positively.
I would never keep an adulterer from office, or from being a financial advisor or a doctor, or anything else- it is simply my opinion that it is a very wrong thing to do, or to speak about as if it were a good thing. I think stigma is important for people who do things that are wrong. I don't see what there is to discuss- one either thinks adultery is wrong or one doesn't. I, in my relative world, think it is very very wrong. I've no idea what you think. |
