Adulterio, política, libertad y vida privada

When it was over, Clinton left office with a 65 percent approval rating. Trust him with your daughter? Not a chance. But your economy? Sure.

W. Bush, by contrast, finished his term with an approval rating of 22 percent. Trust him with your daughter? Sure. But keep him away from the economy! Both parties could have drawn the same conclusion: Voters have more important things to worry about than their leaders' sex lives.

Sex in violation of Marriage is not Ok. Why not? Because adultery, unlike a frisky bachelor lifestyle, connotes a reckless dishonesty at odds with our basic notions of integrity. Because it shows a lack of respect for the most important commitment that most of us will ever make. Because it indicates that the adulterer will always place his selfish desires above those who depend on him.

[Traducción del último párrafo: El sexo fuera del matrimonio no está bien. Y no está bien porque el adulterio, en vez de ser una conducta y un estilo de via jugueton de adolescente, demuestra una indiferencia brutal a las más básica integridad, porque evidencia una enorme falta de respeto al compromiso mas importante que la mayoría de nosotros hará nunca. El adúltero muestra que siempre pondrá por delante sus deseos egoístas, incluso por encima que los que dependen de él.]
