Holly, the reality of public life means your right to privacy by those strictest of terms is gone. With the power and influence you get, you give some things away. If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. There are plenty of good people willing to enter office and deal with those difficulties. I don't buy the fact that it keeps so many wonderful people from public office. That's another tired cliche' the media use to justify behavior which is plain wrong. Someone could spend a month of Sunday's investigating my background and except for my teenage years would find a rather boring non-scandalous life, unless of course they were lying. By the way, when you are given a clearance to classified information they do just that. To suggest that the average american has as many uncovered moths hanging in their closet as the President is silly. This investigation is totally the fault of one person. William Jefferson Clinton. Meeting Lewinsky three days before her deposition and then having his good friend (super-lobby-man) Vernon Jordan, drive her to the deposition, was one of the stupidest decisions I've seen. He's a lawyer for gosh sakes, he should know what the public's perception of that could be. Starr is simply doing his job. Remember people who were very close to Clinton are serving jail time today.

<<<<There exists the basic freedom and right to be left alone, the right to privacy,>>>> Holly , Yes , I agree, and for the most part I feel I have all of the above. However what we have here is only proof that there are two sets of laws in our countries , and I suppose in most. A law for the wealthy and /or influential and laws for the rest of us. We only have to look at this or OJ , or Mafia , and see that with enough clout one is quite capable of circumventing the law, The only price they have to pay is this annoying time of having to put up with the rest of us mortals slowly losing interest.. russell
