Holly, the fact that the word 'secretary' originally meant 'keeper of secrets' is really totally irrelevant to the discussion on this thread. Societies, and job functions, evolve over time. I don't believe anyone here is arguing that secretaries should be anything other than trustworthy and totally discreet EXCEPT when they are under oath, and by that time, for the public good, it has been decided under our system of laws and courts that there is a compelling reason for testimony.

Lisa is not the only person who is disturbed by some of the things you said that did tend to villify Betty Currie, and secretaries in general who do not ascribe to your implied code of amorality and evading truthful testimony. I would agree that this can be a generally friendly, humorous thread for exchanging various points of view, but it is you who got extremely serious and maligned Currie, without any of us even really knowing yet what her grand jury testimony was.

Perhaps we should CHILL on this issue until we find out more about what she actually said.
