Do we really care to play photographic gotcha when men harmlessly behave like vital men? Are we still such repressed puritans in this country that we care about any of this? The actual Puritans that founded our nation were not as bad about this as we have become. Two words, Benjamin Franklin. We have debased puritanism to be all about superficial issues like this when it was really about ethics in the conduct of one’s life which, as evidenced by the professional behavior of our business and political leaders, has become a complete non-issue. We impeach Clinton for lying about a blow job and tolerate GW Bush for lying us into war and gutting our liberty. The financial barons of our country plunge the world into ruin through massive fraud and they still walk free with their fortunes intact.
