Didn't say he didn't. But you missed the point too. Clinton (slimeball
that he is) decided to hide his behaviour because if he hadn't he would
have lost the Jones lawsuit. I have no doubt he harassed her, none
whatever. My point, and I'll repeat it more carefully, is that I don't
think:
1. the law against sexual harassement, as currently written, is valid
(1)
2. the rulings that force people to testify about affairs, past AND
future (Lewinsky was a future affair), are valid.
3. Clinton has any moral courage. If he doesn't believe in that law, he
should come out and say so. If he does believe in that law, he should
have testified honestly.
Myself, I would NOT have testified honestly. When asked, I would have
said: "I'm not answering this question because I don't grant your basis
to ask it, and I am prepared to take the contempt charge, which I will
appeal." But that takes courage to do, and he doesn't have any.
See the distinction? This impeachment isn't about sex, it's about
behaviour to avoid having an unjust law apply to you. He's a coward, he
tries to wiggle out of stuff he doesn't agree with instead of taking a
stand.

No paint or markings unless TLG put them there.

What?? you find it hard to stomach that someone rejects the creationist
rejection of causality? Tell me more. Or was that not what you meant?
1 - Sexual harrassement is a BAD THING, and we should have something in
place that helps people defend against abuse of power by government
officials. However, I suspect (2) that if we looked carefully at the
common-law body we had in place in 1900, we could find what we need
instead of using this horribly flawed law we have now.
2 - This is congruent to my pollution stance.
