Hi Zeev,

I usually find myself agreeing with you on many subjects, however, you suprised me on this one:

one needs to differentiate the affair of state and his personal affairs.

The law of the land and how it is being currently enforced is a direct result of the policies of this administration. Specifically, If as an officer of a corporation, head of a school or school board or any other position of authority, a male were to have an affair with a subordinate...consensual or not...and the affair were discovered, he risks termination and lawsuit. This environment was, in large part created through the appointment of judges and the subsequent rulings of those judges. (no not all sex harrasment rulings came from Clinton appointees, I realize.)

My point is: If the rest of America must live with these laws...I am not saying they are bad, just that they are the present interpretation of present laws....then the President who espouses this agenda should have to live with these laws as well. I really don't like hypocracy and don't, as a citizen of this great republic, feel that I must live by one set of laws and have my elected leaders be allowed to ignore those same laws. That is wrong no mater how you slice it.

Monica worked in the White House. Therefore, Moinca was a subordinate of the President. This affair took place (alegedly) within governmental offices...not the residence.

Sorry Zeev, I just don't think you can get there from here ... (private affair)

Regards,
Steve
