Laz, I am not trying to say that what CLinton did was right, but what he did was not the end of the earth either. If CLinton had ruined the lives of thousands of employees and robbed the pension plans of hundreds of thousands more like Ken Lay from ENron did.............then you'd have a case. When men and women are working together you will have some instances of sexual contact whether you like it or not. If something is happening at a workplace that you doin't like.......................get another job. That's what I did..............in otherwords, handle it. The boss isn't going to be kind to you when you confront him so just go your own way and live on. Isn't there more important things to be talking about? I will end my conversation here cause I have many posts to answer and don't have alot of time. Some posts don't merit any answers and I am sure you can guess which ones.

You can't do that! You're using all the feminists' best arguments! BTW Bravo!! Not to mention the fact that he was married. I guess that's what you call it. Message #352416 from Lazarus Long at Feb 2, 2003 9:15 PM Has any subordinate of yours ever walked into your office, lifted her skirt and snapped her thong in front of you? Maybe if you were that lucky you might be tempted? Don't try it. I'll call the cops. Nice try at evasion. You do know that such things are prohibited in the military services, right? So let's try this again: WHY SHOULD THE ETHICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR A SUPERIOR BE LESS THAN FOR A SUBORDINATE? Try answering that. it is totally impossible to stop men and women from being interested in each other. It is totally impossible to keep people from murdering each other. Because of that, should it be legal? You call that an argument? You better scoot back to that protected enclave of yours, the Jackass Stable. I have known people that have married their bosses............many who have done that. Times have changed, dearie. Lots of things used to happen that are illegal or frowned on now. And lots of things are accepted and legal that previously weren't. And this sort of thing wasn't pushed by the masculine gender, so if you want to find the cause, get a mirror. Frankly, I never thought that dating any of my bosses was a good idea because it interfers with the job. I know a number of companies where you and your boss would be handed your heads. You honestly see no problem here? Look at it from some other employees perspective: X gets preferential treatment because she/he is the boss's girl/boyfriend. This is the stuff suits are made of. Plus she/he may later claim harassment. Companies with sense put a stop to this stuff these days because of the legal environment. for some it was productive and they got promotions, etc. PRECISELY! Thanks for making my point! When you have men and women working together you will not be able to blackout all sexual thoughts. We're not talking about thoughts, we're talking about ACTIONS. You don't get the difference? Let me try another simple analogy: It is not illegal to think about murdering someone else. It is illegal to do so. He wasn't stalking her..............it was vice versa. And Clinton had a responsibility to tell her to stop and behave like she was in a working environment. And instead did just the opposite. In other words, Slick Willie got into trouble because he used his willie instead of his cerebrum.
