It is this strange kind of anti-hero popularity that has kept some of our otherwise noble and conscientious citizens from deserting our beleaguered president. Still, the ignominious aura that surrounds the current White House resident seems to find new and distinctive ways in which to manifest itself. The inordinately high priority that President Clinton places upon activities designed to satisfy his temporal urges have led to yet another unseemly drama. Clinton's latest adversary is a former nun, turned prosecutor, with a compelling reputation. Armed with the knowledge that he has already been found to be in contempt of court by a sitting federal judge for giving intentionally false testimony, this woman is determined to see that justice ultimately results in the president's disbarment.
Human beings derive pleasure from many sources, including food, leisure and intimacy.
This, in fact, is what the carnal portion of our being desires. Our flesh is forever seeking satisfaction without cost, but delight pursued without limit inevitably leads to destruction. The childish, self-centered aspect of our nature is quite defensive when free access to indulgence is threatened either explicitly or implicitly. If we interfere with another's fun, or allow others to do so, our own potential amusement may be hindered. This message is infinitely appealing to the egotistic nature, which resides within every person.
