>>Clinton should be held up as a national role model for practicing safe sex.

Huh? I'm sorry, but in all the tawdry details of his assignations with an intern his daughter's age, I saw no reference to any condom.

>>He should be also respected for choosing not to be a " kiss and tell" person despite the threats he was subjected to.

If he had not sworn an oath to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth," I would tend to agree with this statement, but since he did swear that oath his actions are not respectable. They are criminal.

>>Laws are made by men and the rule of law is frequently unruly and not deserving of the high praise accorded it by our adulterous lawmakers and religious leaders.

Since you're the one that brought up Kant in the first place: "Let the law be the sole ground or motive of thy will."

>>In the US, you can have as much justice as you can afford

This (thankfully) isn't entirely true yet, but hang in there. We do seem to get closer every day.

Why do you say "in the US"? Can you name me any country in the world where this isn't true? Can you name me any society in history where this wasn't true?
