I realize this is all relative- and it's just my opinion- but the younger woman takes advantage of her looks, and the older man takes advantage of his power, and his wealth. I did not mean to imply there are not advantages on both sides (which is why it is silly to try and stop such relationships by forbidding employee relationships)- and I only meant that I did not like it, because such relationships are frowned on in US corporations and, indeed, in the US military- of which Clinton was commander and chief, and I would not want an older man in authority over my daughter to have a sexual relationship with her, even if she was stupid enough to show him her thong- because I feel (and it is just a feeling of mine) that the older have a duty to look out for the younger- not that they all do, but I feel they ought to. And by frowned on, I mean people are dismissed in the military for fraternization. Now realistically people WILL fraternize- and in the words of Mr Bumble in Oliver Twist, "the law is a ass," but the president, imo, must follow that ass, and the spirit of the ass, until the law is changed. I guess what I really mean is I would "like" him to set a good example- but I certainly wouldn't impeach a man for not setting a good example. There are very few men who do set a good enough example. As far as trade goes, I am never sure who is taking advantage of whom, but it seems that the little people (and I do not mean people of diminutive size) get the short end of the stick on every side of every deal.
