		<description><![CDATA[I disagree with your comment that monogamy is virtually impossible, but its besides the point.  Even if the pictures were consensual, between him and the recipient, I&#039;m sure his wife didn&#039;t consent to them.  You may argue that this is a private matter between him and his wife, and shouldn&#039;t impact his position as a legislator, but I would again disagree.  For a politician to govern effectively he needs some measure of trust from his constituency; trust that their best interests are his primary motivation. If he can betray the trust of the person most committed to him, then why should a voter have any faith in him?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;Sure, as long as you and everyone else in our society don’t go around throwing MONOGAMY as “natural” and the answer to everything. Hum, which opinion do you think is being shoved down the throats of everyone in our society now??&quot; 

You&#039;re saying it was unnatural and near impossible, and therefore never should be attempted. I was saying it was still the standard of most world. That&#039;s all that it means. 

&quot;Perhaps you should read the latest book on evolutionary biology – Sex at Dawn by Drs. Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jetha.&quot;

It&#039;s on my reading list, plan to read it soon. 

&quot;And your argument about homosexuality is so bizarre, I don’t even know where to start. It is NOT a “modern invention.” Homosexuality is a part of sexuality, has been around as long as heterosexuality and it just as natural as heterosexuality. Period. The whole point of my post is to emphasize that people should be able to do whatever they want to do with other consenting adults. Did you even read what I wrote? I wonder with such odd statements such as: “It is not like they are able to continue their own genetics insuring the success of their own species. So do you agree with the Westboro Baptists by saying that such an act would be unnatural?…”&quot;

I&#039;m all for consenting adults doing what ever the fuck they want. And fuck who ever they want. I was just sayin&#039; that if you are against the logic of monogamy, which reading from the reviews and synopses was this &quot;free love&quot; concept would increase ones chance of living, having food, continuing their genetic line, and making sure their offspring would live, it would seem kind of odd evolutionary for people to not ensure the well being of their lineage. I am not saying it&#039;s bizarre, and I understand how homosexuality has been around since the beginning of humanity. 

&quot;And I’m not trying to “erase” people who believe in soul-mates. Whatever floats your boat. If you want to try – go for it. More power to you, but please keep your nose out of my and Anthony Weiner’s business.&quot;

I couldn&#039;t care less about what you or what others like Anthony Weiner do. I thought it was fucking stupid that people made a big deal about in the 90s with Bill Clinton and think it is fucking stupid now. 

However do you know why people make a big deal of it? Because their voting constituents still abide by the majority&#039;s morality. Sadly we&#039;re not living in an aristocracy in which those best for the job rule over us, but in a republic, in which our representatives can be thrown out of a job just as quickly as they are put in. That&#039;s why &quot;politicians&quot; are so hated today. Cause they have to perform the most detailed dance to appease their voters while writing legislation to them. Anthony Weiner is one of my favorite representatives in the Senate. I couldn&#039;t give a flying fuck about his life, he does great work. But if some people see him stumble, he is out as quickly as they were put in. 

But thanks for informing me about this Sex at Dawn book. I&#039;m much more interested in reading text that proves myself wrong than proves myself right. Life is much less boring that way.]]></description>
