>>What the hell does her AGE have to do with it?<<

Don't ask me, Janice, I didn't write the story. The only relevant thing about her age as far as I'm concerned is so that we might get a sense of her expected level of maturity. I'd say that hers probably exceeds Monica Lewinsky's, wouldn't you?

What's more relevant to me than her age is her marital status. Willey was married, and Clinton knew her husband. If he did what she has alleged, I'd say that Bill was not a very good friend, wouldn't you? Also, I'd say that morally, any man who makes a play for another man's wife should be publicly called to account for his actions, wouldn't you? Or would you argue that we may with moral impunity seek our personal sexual pleasure from whomever we choose, regardless of marital status?

How about the accusation of groping the breasts of another man's wife, placing her hand on his engorged penis? How do you think a husband should respond when his wife comes home from work and relates this story to him? What do you think his feelings, his emotions, his instincts, his sense of decency and outrage will demand? Or are all of these things only his personal problems, which a man is obliged to keep to himself, trivialities that should be of no concern to another man who is simply seeking his own personal pleasure, which after all, according to you, is "his business?"

Is a husband to say, "I DON'T CARE who Bill is having it off with?" Is this how his love for his wife is to find expression? Is this how a man is to respond when someone has violated the sanctity of her physical being, and the sacred bond between he and his beloved?

Do you consider men who attempt to seduce the wives of other men to be worthy of love?

The more I think about your avoidance of these issues, and others, issues which go to the roots of human individual and social morality, the greater repugnance I feel for your position. There is more, much more to these issues than the question of Bill Clinton's personal life, which actually has nothing whatsoever, morally or legally in common with the issues that are the subject of concern. If I have missed something in your statements, please clarify where I have misunderstood your position.
