WE'RE JUST SETTLING FOR NOT-AS-BAD

This is in regard to Betty Roehsner's Aug. 26 letter suggesting that it
would be better to have someone with sexual desire in the White House rather
than someone who was exposed to drugs and alcohol, because he or she could
always slip.

People should keep in mind that someone with sexual desire could also slip,
as shown by our current president, and that this desire could be just as
damaging, as demonstrated once again by our president, as a chemical desire.

Sex addiction can be easier to cover up when your family, friends and
co-workers are co-dependent. Chemical addition can be discovered very easily
by drug screening, as done by most companies in the United States. Drug
screening spot-checks should be done for all our officials.

What Roehsner and much of the country have done is resign us to be run by
mediocre officials addicted to something or someone, with the population
settling for the better of two evils.

Thank you, Mr. Clinton, for helping your country learn to settle. At least
we will no longer pretend that we have elected good people to direct our
country, but we will strive to elect people who have the least-invasive
addiction.
