I have two teenage nieces, a teenage son, an 8 year old son, and a 10 year
old niece. Obviously Mr Clinton's behavior was less than sterling, but it
wasn't with a teenager. In any case this in't the moral authority I was thinking
of. I more interested in the moral authority of the US as a national relative
promoting democracy around the globe. Perhaps you really aren't a religious
sort at all, else you'd know that people are sinful - I myself have sinned in a
Clintonesque sort of way so its really quite necessary for me to forgive him.
It's certainly given me perspective on why God gave his Son so that we might be
saved - good thing my case. I think you'll find that Jesus was a lot more concerned
about false gods, hipocracy, and judgementalism than bodily misbehavior. It's my
experience that sins of the body are much easier to stop than sins of soul - false
pride and hardness of heart. So, is morality just a kind of opinion thing with you
or do actually base it on something?

Yes, I am way off topic, but there's really not much going relative to MS
lately. Sorry to hear that we can't change each others minds given that one
of us is wrong. Doesn't mean we shouldn't try. Seems we both could use lessons
in kinder, gentler forms of persuasion.
