<<The fact is that Clinton did what more than 50% of Americans do--he cheated on his wife and he lied about it. >> He did far more than that. The numbers you refer to (by the way, it was 60% of men and 25% OF women, and included people with significant others as well as married people) include numerous 1-night stands and instances that didn't even go as far as oral sex. When that report first came out many years ago, I was interested enough to get a copy. It seems that most Americans have higher standards than Clinton, even in their definitions of "cheating". Of course, the majority of people that admitted to affairs regretted it afterwards and discontinued the behavior. Clinton has neither shown regret, nor any indication that he will stop the behavior. That is the major distinction between Clinton and the "reality around me" you described. His behavior is very different even from those sinners you were describing. <<Yeah, I believe in upholding principles and values, but that doesn't mean I'll impose mine on others or that I cover my eyes and don't see the reality around me. >> Baloney!! We all impose our principals and values on others every day - environmental protection issues, murder/rape and other laws - gun control or abortion issues - even zoning laws. How about requiring a good days work from employees - that's a value and a principal, and is one of the mainstays of American culture. Society is based on imposing a set of values and principals on the members of that society. Otherwise all you have is anarchy and chaos.
