Family values
2008-03-12
Comparisons of Václav Klaus and Eliot Spitzer were inevitable.
They both have strong opinions and share a predilection for
meeting with young women in hotel rooms. Spitzer is a self-
righteous moralizer who was caught breaking his own espoused
ethical code. Likewise, when Klaus talks about Christian values
and the importance of the family but then runs around on poor
Livia, a degree of hypocrisy is evident. But Klaus's statements are
missing Spitzer's moralizing. Instead, there seems to be a
deeper acceptance on Klaus's part that beyond our innate
human condition or frailties, there's the overriding obligation to
procreate. So no matter if we are skirt-chasing politicians,
confirmed homosexuals, nymphomaniacs with an eye for the
gardener, or cheated-on spouses, it's human to let nature take
its course, as long as we remember our main task of creating
and maintaining a family.
