        To Susan (especially) and others: thanks for concurring!  I thought my
battling multiple professors on this issue was final, conclusive evidence that
the butter had indeed slipped off my bread.  Nice to get some support from
others with significantly more writing skill and debating prowess than I.

        And good point; there seems to be much reason to believe that every
"main stream" U.S. politician out there lies to some degree.  Even if the fact
that one lies to his wife (which, BTW, hasn't been clearly demonstrated in the
case of Clinton) *is* relevant to a candidate's honesty in dealing with the
general public, how many lies were told By his/her opponents, in any capacity
, of which we are altogether unaware?  And is this type of "private" lie
in particular demonstrative of the candidates likelyhood to lie in a wider
context - such as the public on issues of policy?  I wouldn't necessarily
say "no," but I am unaware of a good argument to suggest "yes" either.

        Once again, I suggest that we must (read: should) view an affair as
of relatively little relevance in comparison with the candidates record in
*office* and stand on the issues we face.


        - Mitch
