You say you want a revolution, brees? Many differ, that's life. The moral reformationists have a particular doctrinaire view that is not consistent with everybody's views, and there's no indication that the standards of "integrity" that they or you would have impeachment enforce have ever been particularly common in government. The next election will come around soon enough, and I'm sure everybody will be out with Diogenes' lamp searching for an honest politician to vote for. You're an exception, but I don't credit most Clinton detractors here with much more honesty on the matter than most politicians.

That you choose to make fun of some people as those "ozzie and harriet" types, betrays your lack of sincerity. Now humor = lack of sincerity. Weren't you tickled as a child? Did your parents not love you when they did? OK.. breez.. you're a nice person but naive. "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" began on radio in 1944. This was a comedy about the adventures and misadventures of a typical middle-class American family. Their sons, David and Eric (Ricky), were too young to be on the air, so professional actors read their parts. By 1949, however, Ozzie decided to let his sons become part of the show. In 1952 ABC turned the show into a television series. Ozzie Nelson was the show's producer, director, and head writer. The show ran for a phenomenal fourteen years, becoming one of TV's longest-running family comedies. The combined run of the radio and TV versions of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" was an incredible twenty-two years." Bet you didn't know that.. or you watch too much TV. Next you say: Our nature makes it possible for us to have love and respect for all things in a responsible and decent fashion. The nature of the world is to make things that would corrupt an otherwise responsible and decent path in life seem interesting and attractive as a test of our character. There's an upside and downside to everything and yes, our "nature" makes it "possible for us to have love and respect for all things," though your very writing makes it evident you personally don't follow through on that assumption. As to the nature of the world existing to challenge and test our character, that's an amazingly egocentric view of the world. How do you know what the world exist's for? And please follow through by adding "by what authority" you claim special knowledge in this area. Last and not least, there is something called the "Ozzie and Harriet Myth" "When it comes to marriage, we expect the fairy tale. Raised on Cinderella and Ozzie and Harriet, we're convinced that marriage will solve all of our problems, our partner will meet all of our needs, and that we'll live happily ever after."
