<In my opinion this whole discussion boils down the degree and circumstance of a lie.>

Not really. The issue was about a president who continues to pretend that he's a moral leader even when he was caught with his pants down, literally.

But you asked about the degree and circumstance of a lie, so I'll answer. Yes, I think Clinton was being all too human when he had his fling with Monica. He was being all too human when he lied. He's being all too human as he continues to admit no wrongdoing. I know this from personal experience.

Do I have to accept that? No. Do I live up to the same moral standards that I hold other people up to? No, but I'll be the first to admit that. But the difference is that I'm striving to get as close as I can to that moral standard. And when a guy who tries to act like some sort of moral leader makes a mockery of those same morals that he pretends to strive for, I have to call foul.

Sam,

Re: "Would it be wrong to lie if you were tortured?"

Now I get it, Sam ... Monica was "torturing" Bill. Boy Sam, it didn't
take him long to "break". <ggg>

Make It So,
