for consensual adultery is wrong.  

The Adultery Wars

Adultery is a private choice. The important rejection of it comes from love, not intimidation. The reason not to commit it is that it is likely to devastate someone you love if he or she learns about it. And the only way that person won't learn about it is if you tell a lot of lies. Telling a lot of lies eventually harms your ability to maintain a trusting relationship; secretiveness undermines intimacy. And tending a committed, intimate relationship is a deeply meaningful part of life, though we all know it has its share of bad days.

While biographers have described people who are exceptions and seem able to countenance adultery and marital intimacy at the same time, by and large the reason not to choose adultery is that the pleasure it offers is taken in trade for harming more enduring love and more important loved ones.

But publicly humiliating anyone for consensual adultery is draconian, and wrong. It teaches children cynicism. What they see is how little respect there is for privacy, and how gratuitously and harshly adults will harm one another to gain a little power. And using adultery or any aspect of consensual adult sexuality as a weapon in political battles is more abhorrent than the act itself.

You might say that how and why we disapprove of adultery is as important as whether we do.

I'm curious if fuzzy agrees with the NY Times on the topic?

"...one more reminder of why it is a bad idea to turn consensual sex between adults into political fodder.

Start down that road, and public figures (and their families) are needlessly humiliated, useful careers are destroyed, and citizens are left feeling cynical...

I suppose we could try going this route again: teaching values to the young by conducting sexual witch hunts. But what will they really learn? That adults are nasty and unforgiving.

That, as Nathaniel Hawthorne demonstrated, it is often too easy to get people enthused about hurting people who behave differently."

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

I guess my point went over your head.   Or maybe you didn't notice the article was from 1998.   When Clinton was president, the MSM overwhelmingly fell into the "Who gives a rat's ass?" column.   Now that it's an affair involving Trump from a dozen years ago, you have Anderson Cooper teaming with CBS to do a lascivious interview with Stormy Daniels a'la  Jerry Springer.  

But as you recently admitted, it's okay with you that the media is biased.  You don't want them to present "both sides".   The truth has no place in the MSM/DNC's indoctrination of the public.  

The dems are such a hoot.......
