"Without endorsing any of Hillary Clinton's behavior, or minimizing any
unfairness experienced by her husband's sex partners or alleged victims,
it seems to me that asking a man or woman to react rationally and
sympathetically to a person just as they're revealed to be having an
affair with their spouse, or accusing their spouse of a crime, is to
demand superhuman self-control and circumspection. Few could do it. In
the first case, who wouldn't deeply resent a spouse's cheating partner,
and be inclined to see them in the most unfavorable light? In the latter
case, who wouldn't believe that their spouse was being wrongly accused,
especially if the spouse really did have powerful enemies trying to
destroy him?"
Yes, she behaved badly. But under the circumstances, how many people would've managed better? And how is it relevant to the job she may seek?
Human knowledge has progressed exponentially since the dawn of modern science. It is no longer reasonable to accept claims without sufficient objective evidence. The harm from religion, alternatives to medicine, conservatism, and all other false beliefs will be exposed on this blog by reporting the findings of science. This blog will also reinforce what should be the basics of education: History, Civics, Financial Literacy, Media Literacy, and Critical/Science Based Thinking.
