Ten, But the answer "... cast the first stone" is not a license to practice injustice. Rather, it's a statement which disarmed the Pharisees and gave them no basis to accuse Jesus of heresy. It also gave Jesus a basis to grant mercy without violating the Mosaic laws. My take is that his statement was a criticism of those who chose to judge too quickly. I don't know how many times "Cast the first stone" has been taken out-of-context by those who practice license and injustice right in plain view. Certainly Clinton's accusers have acted just like the Pharisees back then, especially as their own skeletons came crashing out of their closets. Exactly. But that gives absolutely no excuse for Clinton's own lack of morals and ethics. Are you basing your call of Clinton's lack of morality on the screaming heard from the media or on the facts. When you get the media and Republican screaming out of the way, the facts in most cases do not warrant the hysterical response. Like I have posted before, the only pardon I find truly questionable is the one involved in the drug selling. But I can understand how Clinton could have been swayed with a Cardinal, several important policians and a sheriff supporting the pardon. In addition this was the guy's first offense. Still, I would not have pardoned him but that's a judgement call....the very thing Jesus warned about in his "cast the first stone" statement. Even more, I don't see Clinton trying to be a man who wants to leave his life of sin. Can you identify those sins? Thanks. ted

Instead, his actions and his statements suggest a "Catch me if you can" mentality. Actually, I would go one step further. I don't think Clinton cares if he "gets caught". He only cares not to get convicted. Clinton knows from years of experience, that without definitive paper trails or admission by co- conspirators, it is next to impossible to prove anything. He has based his entire career on this. Only the stained dress did him in....partially. Clinton is a low life...the proverbial trailer park trash. That will never change. Hopefully, his "style" will not will not emulated by other politicians and the "Clinton" era is over. THE WATSONYOUTH
