<<Most people lie about illicit affairs. It's not a criminal offense>>

Many people lie about taxes, some lie about stealing, others about killing someone. It's all a matter of who is doing the lieing and the degrees to which they are willing to go. I don't remember who said it in an earlier posting..but..the comment was that Starr lied..
O.K....going on the premise of when is it acceptable to lie...where would this fit in?

I still go back to the "big picture" of this guy (Clinton.) He has lied about numerous things and gotten away with it. His supporters keep going back to Iran or Nixon or something else equally irrelevant.
A lie is a lie is a lie. I don't care who told it or when. Past lies and deceits of other administrations should certainly not be a measuring stick by which future Presidents should function by.

As a society, I would think, we should be striving to improve ourselves and hold ourselves to higher accountability for the following generations to use as a guide. Instead we keep making excuses for those elements of our society rather than saying "enough is enough."

The common "Joe" should not get by with it..and certainly our leaders should be expected to be at least as accountable.
