Er, of course kids always do that kind of stuff. The point is that they didn't let the entire world know about it by posting their diaries of those escapades online....

DUH !!!!! Of course they didn't. They didn't have the means. If they DID have the Internet and computers DECADES ago, along with cheap or free Internet access, they damn sure WOULD have been posting it.

Re: kids will be kids
And just imagine how much fun the elections would have been had the last two presidents had a myspace page while in HS and college.
"Mr. Clinton, it says here that you had a threesome with two english girls while high on marijauna, and then attended an anti-US rally, and later met your girlfriend Hillary for dinner. Do you have any comment?"
or
"Mr. Bush, your Blog say that after drinking and snorting cocain for a couple of days with your frat buddies, you slept for three days and missed your required National Guard drill weekend, but that you thought it wasn't a big deal because "Dad would take care of it." Any comment?"

Remember that line in MIB?

I would like to be the guy taking that action. I don't see it happening. If anything it has gotten worse over past years, with a large broca-like divide

As we move towards a transparent society, one in which Google cache remembers everything that we do at every stage in our life... it'll become virtually impossible to find candidates for public office that can hide their, um, indiscretions for very long.
My belief is that this will ultimately be a good thing. These sorts of scandals will become so ubiquitous that the public will grow desensitized to it and they'll cease to have the impact they do. If I was really ideallistic, I would suggest that it would force elections to be about the issues rather than mudslinging.

Yes I wish we could go back...
Lets face it, society's behavior is actually similar or has actually gotten pretty tame over the centuries. When was the last time you heard of your landlord invoking their right to sleep with your daughter on her wedding day, etc.
Whats different today is openness and information. Things are not worse, people are not worse. Its just that we actually know what the hell is going on in the world. Imagine if we had Geraldo during or US weekly a hundred years ago. Back then people didnt have a clue.
Its all the same, nothing changes except perception.

Re: what's in Washington DC Why
The whole idea is to be careful what you put on the Internet - it may come back to haunt you or someone you know in the future. When my children are old enough, just like with anything else, I will sit down with them and let them know what I feel is appropriate 'net-iquette' and what isn't. It certainly doesn't hurt them I'm a computer programmer and security administrator - as a parent I will assist in making sure they aren't doing inapproproate things online. Things will change dramatically by then I'm sure, but at least I can speak for how I currently feel.

Personally - I mainly use it to promote, and it does a damn good job at that. I typically like to assaume that I have more common sense than even the average of all Joes, and I have even considered getting into politics on a nation wide scale, and have even researched a few things for my local town on this matter.
I am the MySpace generation. Come on now, how many idiots out there grew up during the same generation as Bush? Probably tons, and perhaps even with equal proportions as to todays.

Both Sides Are Correct
I have a whole box of photos from my days as a New England prep school student, and you could not pay me to publish them. I would be a lot more likely to vote for someone who admitted to smoking pot in school than for someone who lied about it, though. I also hope that someday people's personal business will be personal and that politicians will be elected based upon their qualifications instead. If the only way that will happen is by everyone putting their business out on the Net, so be it. I'm still not publishing my photos, though.
