Don: good post at 2:15.

Blues: I wouldn't mind seeing the Clinton lying issue fade away myself, (along with Bush stole the election, etc.)but the most interesting thing to me about that whole situation is how readily some people believe that lying is not a serious offence. "Everyone does it," so it's okay. To me, lying under oath is a serious offence. The courts must think so too, because if you are caught, you are punished for it.

Clinton's lie was especially heinous, in my opinion, because it could have denied a citizen one of their basic civil rights. The right to a fair trial in a lawsuit. For so many people here on the Mudcat that consider themselves the champion of civil rights, to look the other way when a fellow citizen's rights are trampled on by a witness in a law suit that lies about his behaviour seems ludicrous to me.
