CS404 Ethics and Computers in Society: Current Event 4

Cheating on your wife and paying for prostitution is appalling enough, but doing it while you represent Americans as a governor is inexcusable. With more power comes more responsibility. If Governor Eliot Spitzer was an ordinary man, his actions would not have even made the local news. Unfortunately for him, and Americans alike, it has made national news and is talked about all over America. This scandal gives a bad name to Americans, and political figures in America (as if their reputations could get any worse). Our political representatives need to understand the importance of their positions. They are so strongly in the lime light, they cannot even pick their noses without it being blogged about. We need representatives who have intelligence, along with moral integrity. This country was founded in the presence of God, on principles of righteousness. Our leaders need to be role models, righteous people, and preferably religious people. A country is only as good as its leaders and the decisions they make. It says horrible things about our country when our leaders are adulterous.
