Seems fishy to me. In a conspiracy, all loose ends are tied. -------------------- And Shepards We Shall Be
For Thee, My Lord For Thee. Power Hath Forth Decended From Thy Hand Our Feet May Swiftly Carry Out Thy Commands. So We Shall Flow A River Forth To Thee And Teeming With Souls Shall It Ever Be. In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti. |

Gets bad when the FBI gets involved in e-mails between your female 'biographer' and another female that isn't your wife. Considering that the divorce rate of the US is currently around 50% - this 'dream world' ideal that we want to hold public figures to is laughable in the extreme. How many married men are currently involved in affairs? Too many to count, too many to care. Are we trying to hold Public Officials to different standards than we hold ourselves to? I have always found GOP's stance on freedom somewhat odd, in that they want to control and legislate everything of a sexual nature that takes place behind the closed bedroom doors of consenting adults. -------------------- Never too old to have a happy childhood! ....................Don't put an age limit on your dreams! |

That is some wonderful placement of words. Beautifully said. -------------------- Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body. Rather it should be to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand and the Good Book in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO what a ride!" |

Reminds me of a George Carlin clip where he asks why prostitution is illegal. The funny thing is - he's totally right. -------------------- Temecula Seasonal Precipitation 2012-2013: 7.27" (-6.34") Normal to-date precipitation: 13.61" East Murrieta Seasonal Precipitation 2012-2013: 7.11" Season began July 1st, 2012.

As a society we have gotten too 'enamored' of our celebrity/leaders amorus interests - both inside and outside their committed relationships. In point of truth - IT IS NONE OF OUR BUSINESS. It is the business of the parties directly involved. To bring the public into these peccedillios borders on defamation and is truly character assasination; with the reporting being done by parties whose hands are no cleaner in their personal lives than those whom they are skewering. If Petraeus wanted to resign because he felt he did not live up to the standards he expected of himself - Fine. That is the end of it. Everything that has been published since his surprise announcement has been nothing but characterassination by the media of all the parties being named; and for what REAL purpose? These are not the first affairs to have taken place, nor will they be the last. -------------------- Never too old to have a happy childhood! ....................Don't put an age limit on your dreams! |
