Mr.Patience...According to Taoist thought there is no such thing as a "lie"... Per this philosophy/religion ...a "lie" is a part of human frailty and frailty is an inescapable part of the human condition. Here is an example... A woman when asked how old she was, replied she was 39 when in reality she was 44...Did this woman "lie"...By Western definition...yes...But by Taoist thought...She didn't "lie"...She demonstrated she was afraid of being thought of as too old by her purposeful "deception" or misrepresentation... Now when Ken Starr went to the Attorney General and said he wanted to expand the case because of taped testimony he received from Linda Tripp...and did not disclose his relationship to Paula Jones....was this purposeful deception not in and of itself by Western definition...a "lie"???? Was not Tripp's begging questions and entrapment of Monica L...purposely deceptive and therefore ALSO by Western definition a "lie" ???? Certainly Clinton "lied" to the public and Clinton under oath was not forthcoming and even misleading....but... Obviously Clinton's reasons for his "lie" to the American public were to maintain political viability....A frailty of all politicians... Now tell me that every political promise came true? Were not Bush's "Read my Lips" and Nixon's secret plans to end the Vietnam War in 1968 ..."lies" by Western definition...and testaments to politicians who will say anything to maintain their political viability and win elections? So let me correct the earlier secret I shared... Politicians don't "lie"...they succumb to human weakness and especially to the vices of power and conceit... Thus again, I ask why all the hate? Is the electorate really that naive about the nature of political ambition and the frailty of the human character in general? Is it alright to "lie" and be deceitful in a pursuit to uncover other "lies"....Is this the "moral" lesson Americans wish to teach to their children? Sorry Mr. Patience....emotions are wonderful when used positively...but very destructive when used to fuel hate...... Thus again...call me naive ...but I still don't understand hate.. Sincerely and with agape.... From the City of Brotherly Love... ztect
