Anthony Weiner Seeks Treatment, Requests Leave Of Absence As Top Democrats Call For Resignation

Saturday, June 11, 2011


Your link talks about more than suicide -- People didn't want to divulge their last names when they talked about what they'd done.  Because it's not behavior they're proud of or happy about.

Young people from the beginning of time think they're invulnerab­le and immune to social mores, and that "everybody does it", and those who don't are "behind the times", "stick-in-­the-muds", and just clueless.  

I thought that about my parents, my parents thought that about their parents, my kids thought that about me, their kids think that about them, and while it's true about certain things (taste in music, for instance, Frank Sinatra, Elvis, Beatles, Guns and Roses, etc.), when it comes to this subject, everybody is NOT doing what Anthony Weiner has been doing.  And most certainly, people in leadership positions in our culture are NOT doing it.  

Rhiana, how old are you?

Do you work?  Do you sext on the job?  Do you send photos of your genitals to strangers while you're working?  Do these strangers know your name and where you work?  If your answer is yes, does your employer know what you're doing?

If you're in the public sector doing this (a teacher or a police officer), you would be fired.  

Being in a public office is a public trust.  That's long been a guiding principle of government­.  To uphold this trust, members of Congress have bound themselves to abide by certain standards of conduct, expressed in the Code of Official Conduct (House Rule 23) and the Code of Ethics for Government Service.  These codes provide that members, employees of Congress, officers, are "to conduct themselves in a manner that will reflect creditably on the House, work earnestly and thoughtful­ly for their salary".
