29. I have never cared what people do in their consenting adult relationships

Even ones that are compensated by cash provided the services are provided freely and not coerced through any kind of desperation or trafficing.

However, it pisses me off when public figures get involved in shit like this because it makes them vulnerable to compromat. I read your story with dread about how many of those powerful people had been compromised in ways that was counter to the well being of the communities they served

As an example, I have always been pissed at Clinton for the Lewinski issue. I didn't care about the prudish pearl clutching. I was mad about the secret and what it could mean for someone with that much power. Anyone with knowledge of the situation had leverage over him for secrets, contracts, appointments, etc.

Or maybe I should stop binge watching 'The Americans'
