Letter to the Editor 
 

SUBJECT:  What A Silly Little Sex Scandal

The White House sex scandal is a prime example of what happens 
when religious morality injects itself into government.  There is 
nothing wrong with a man having consensual sex with an adult 
woman.  Men have sex with younger women quite frequently.  It 
happens hundreds of thousands of times every day and is a natural 
human behavior.

Quite frequently such sex involves married men cheating on their 
wives.  Although not admirable behavior, love is not a crime.  
Indeed women quite frequently seek out and initiate sexual 
relationships with older, more mature men.  I would not be 
surprised to learn that is exactly what happened in the case of 
Monica Lewinski and President Clinton.

No man should have to be forced to answer questions about his 
private sex life.  It is especially inappropriate to subject the 
President of the United States to public ridicule by parading him 
before a grand jury and asking questions about his private sex 
life.  Such inquiry is politically motivated, aimed at defamation 
of the President, a threat to our national security and is itself 
irresponsible and scandalous behavior!

Special prosecutors should be limited in their inquiry to matters 
of state.  The private lives of people, including the President, 
should be off limits to special prosecutors.

Infidelity is nothing to brag about, but it is not a crime.  If 
President Clinton lied to protect his family, his office and his 
country from his "inappropriate relationship" with Monica 
Lewinski, it was a white lie!  People tell white lies all the 
time to avoid hurting others they love.

Quite frankly I think it's about time we kick the moralist out of 
office and stop injecting religion into politics.  There is good 
reason to keep church morality and state affairs separate.  
Perhaps the best reason is to avoid silly little sex scandals 
and white lie cover-ups.!

Sincerely, Terry Lynch 
Montgomery, AL
