I've got more important issues to contemplate.

I can't tell whether that's snarky or not (sorry, Internet doesn't really leave room for subtleties). I'll just say it doesn't affect my life either, but this is a discussion board, so I thought I'd discuss it. If you have more important issues to contemplate, you don't have to take up the time you could spend on them by commenting here. Again, I can't tell if that was just your take on the discussion or your assessment of people discussing it, so forgive me if I'm responding to intentions that didn't exist.
As for me, I thought it was interesting on several levels that Ms. Lewinsky continues to bring this up as some evil that was done against her. In the grander scheme of social movements that are happening right now, it is relevant and therefore worth talking about.
Sure, I can support the assertion that in the grander scheme of social movements that are happening right now, President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky is relevant and worth talking about.
But why then say that one of the principals - Ms. Lewinsky - should just shut up? She has a right to opine on the matter too.
