    And apparently the companies that wanted to hire her only wanted to do so for her celebrity.

    I would hire an equally qualified anyone else. I don’t believe Monica did anything seriously wrong—well Bill was married and she knew it, but she didn’t hurt anyone but Bill’s family and that wasn’t her intention. The big mistake was to tell Linda Tripp about it. And, she was 22 years old at the time. I sure did dumber stuff than that when I was in my 20s, and I don’t think there are many people that didn’t. I wouldn’t hire her because it would detract from whatever my business was. I want to be referred to as the law firm that specializes in labor law, or whatever. And that’s without the answer being “oh, you mean that company that hired Monica Lewinsky, and you trust them?”

    So she had an affair with a married man? Big deal? It happens all the time, especially in politics. Her problem was her affair was with a power man with powerful enemies who had no issue with destroying her life for political gain, one of whom was busy with his own extra-marital affair.

    Did we ever learn the meaning of “is”? I know perjury is no big deal because everyone does it.

    Who cares doing it undermines the whole basis of our adversarial justice system?

    You miss the point. The massive scandal revolving around it was 100% politically motivated.

    I know I can never forgive her. She set out to get “presidential kneepads” and succeeded. If she hadn’t, and he hadn’t been such a weak and blind man, we’d probably never had to put up with bush costing us so much blood and treasure and destroying our economy and our national will. So, thanks for pushing us down the slide to the Third World.

    Here in Canda there is also a shortage of skilled labour. Electricians, Mechanics, plumbers. If only people would gain the skills

    That is the person must have 3+ years worth of experience and not have an issue with low pay and sporadic hours for low end delegated work.

    For there to be a skills shortage there should be two things

    1. Rising wages (supply and demand), lowered entry requirements ( We are willing to train you).

    2. A high unemployment rate.

    In the present companies are largely complaining on the basis that they want a large, expendable pool of perfect fit labour.

    There is no market that can produce experienced employees without hiring, there is no benefit in a market flooded with labour for employees. However as long as governments subsidize businesses by insuring an excess supply of labour there is no market incentive for pay
