The title above comes from Holy Writ. King Solomon used it many times in Ecclesiastes to emphasize that human events are cyclical because of man's imperfect nature and limitations. (read "original sin.")
This article discusses adultery among politicians and tries to make the case based on evolutionary biology. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/12/AR2008031204031.html
Mamaditto prefers the Biblical route, since adultery is a moral problem, not an organic one. Just a cursory look at a few pertinent Scriptures explains precisely the evil that lurks in the hearts of men:
Pr 6:16-19- There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers. [ Sounds like the perfect profile of a politician
] Pr 16:18- Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.
Pr 29:3- A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.
Mt 5:28- But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ~ The Lord Jesus Christ ~
Heb 13:4 Marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.
