Senator Edwards,
Your actions were morally wrong ! Your admission of an affair symbolized the end of your political career. After denying the rumor of your affair, you finally confessed. As the Malinkes of Mali say,"If you hide your s*** at the botton of the river, it will eventually come to the surface."
Guy Blaise
That's why an educated, vigilent populace is needed to hold the feet of lying politicians to the fire.
John Edward's extra-marital relationship is none of my concern and has no impact on my life or the well being of this country. I was sorry to hear of it. There was a time, not all that long ago, when this type of reporting was the exclusive purview of the truly tasteless tabloids. There was a time when common decency would have forbidden the publishing of this kind of "news". The publishers of this kind of story don't care about the hurt they cause to families. I can't help but think that the publishing of the was done for the basest of motives. The rest of the world must be laughing at us. When will we lose our juvenile attitudes towards matters sexual and show some respect for the personal privacy of all of us.
