I have only been in court once, when I was 14- and I was surly and nasty then and definitely did tell the truth as I perceived it. So I am pretty sure my statement was accurate. You assumed that I had been in court a lot- I did not intend for you to make that assumption but I can now see it would be a natural one to make.

I do not count as lying instances of self deception. I do not believe Clinton's lying is an example of that. To do what he did with Ms. Lewinsky he must have realized that he was- in some sense, no matter how tortured- ALONE with her. And that is merely one example.

I am sure perjury IS committed everyday, but I do not buy the "everybody does it" excuse. And everyone does not do it. There are honest individuals who do make an effort to tell the truth as they perceive it. There are also people in prison for perjury. There are people who have lost there jobs for perjury, just as there are LOTS of men (and some women) who have lost their jobs for sexually harassing people in the workplace, and for using bad judgment at the office. I do not understand why anyone should wish to keep this tragically flawed man in the highest office of our nation- this is America, the people have every right to do it, but I will never understand it.
