The traditional understanding is that statecraft requires expedients that would be considered more harshly when employed for purely personal gain, because of the greater responsibility entailed in protecting the community. Uh, whose traditional understanding would that be? Strangely, before I became caught up in this forum, my primary interest at SI was following Microsoft's antitrust problems, where Bill Gates' somewhat curious view of honesty under deposition was applauded as the way you're supposed to handle things like that. It would be hard to judge Gates' deposition as less evasive than Clinton's, but nobody has talked about bringing up Bill Gates on perjury charges. Nobody thinks politicians are in general honest people. How the long running Clinton hatred campaign is supposed to encourage a better class of people to go into politics is one question I'm eternally confused by. Cheers, Dan.
