It is a sad fact that UM's are being forced to grow up too fast these days, what with the technology we have created, but because we had childhoods perhaps we look disdainfully on our contempories, but we have enabled the loss of innocence, so who are we to talk. But as to Anthony Wiener, is it he is being blasted for his lying, or his alleged innapropriate conduct with an under age member of society, the latter in our technological age being even harder to distinguish, especially so when the under age lie about their age, as many who are around the age of consent see no reason why they should not be allowed to engage with those old enough to have consent bar laws and rules which might even be out of date, given the speed in which the young grow up these days. If it is Anthony Wiener is being lambasted for lying, why, was it because he was a liar that was caught, what about all the other liars that are keeping their head down, for surely everyone is aware where there is power and money, there is sleaze aplenty, it is just that many cover their tracks well or have specialists engaged for that sort of thing. It is sad though that his actions have caused upset to his wife and family, but it is often said that when someone needs to look elsewhere, that is an indication that their needs are not being met at home. As the saying goes ; Let he who is without sin cast the first stone Or are we all liars in that respect too, in which case the death of honour and trust.
