Are you for real or is this some sort of political bait?

So, are we to understand that since—from time immemorial—men have been devious and deceptive (and for which we have no control), we should just accept it in order to achieve a greater good?

The power to change things for the better is premised on not accepting the bad that often—whether we like it or not—is produced.

I, for one, cannot defend moral weakness in order to justify protecting the moral high ground for generations to come. The thought is, not only illogical, but intellectually ridiculous.

Ok, now we are getting somewhere....how could you/we have changed or controlled the behavior of this man, this stranger? It is a given that it is not "acceptable"...I am sure his wife told him that too, something being unacceptable does not mean it will never occur.

How can we control, change or prevent a future pol from having an affair?

Other than threats of eternal damnation, shunned, shamed, being fired, or even killed back in the “olden” days? All these devises have been in place for centuries.

And men/women still cheat on each other, it is another sad fact of life.
