Christine, "because people don't get enough" IS a function of the mental health of a society. I'm stretching here a little, but not much. Just as society makes solutions for transportation, solutions for educating children, for providing a level of food and general accessability to health care.. One day we may find that providing, even requiring a level of human skin to skin contact is mandatory for the healthy survival of our species as we move into an advancing technological age that alienates and buffers our physicality both from the natural world and from each other. Remember those monkey experiments with wire monkey mothers and cloth mothers? Those who don't touch and feel loose the ability to learn and react with openess... according to that poll it may be about 60% of the population.

Text of Lewinsky's Affadavit With editorial amendments suggest by 'the ghost in the machine'): "I have the utmost respect for the president, who always behaved appropriately in my presence." [Of course, I have always found it appropriate for a political leader to pull down his pants at odd hours, Ed.] "I have never had a sexual relationship with the president." [We define sexual relationships as intercourse only. Things like fellation, cunnilingus, etc. do not count.] "He did not propose that we have a sexual relationship." [I did. He readily agreed.] "He did not offer me employment or other benefits in exchange for a sexual relationship." [I was already employed.] "He did not deny me employment or other benefits for rejecting a sexual relationship." [When he grew tired of me he shipped me off to the Pentagon. Hillary had a hand in this somewhere.] A pub(l)ic service message of 'the ghost in the machine' Father Terrence
