77. So his family should pay for it, too?
What about if it's a gay clerk who works in the office of a politician promoting an anti-gay agenda?

Some people would say yes...it doesn't matter their family or if it's some lowly paper pusher...out them.

Others might disagree which is where it all becomes gray.

The problem is we're setting ourselves up as judge, jury and executioner so to speak. We're saying you don't have a right to privacy because we don't like what you're doing or who you work for.

The Foley scandal came about because of the repukes. They did it to themselves. IMO, it's far better for them to be caught at it than for us to pretend we're on some high road and do it for them.
