Some comments to a friend of mine's blog.
Background of this is that Finlands Minister of Foreign affairs (Ilkka Kanerva) has sent few HUNDREDS of SMS:s to an 'erotic dancer'. And here's my thoughts about the issue.

From my humble point of view, mr Kanerva gets paid quite a lot for a) representing Finland abroad (and in Finland, too) b) serving the government and the people of Finland in best possible matters. And he's not meeting all the standards there by acting like that.
I don't feel sorry for him at all :D He's also being paid for being the frontman of his ministry. And that brings a responsibility to act like a good leader, not like a normal man. If he does not meet these standards, apparently he won't, as we've seen, he should be resigned from the position. Or at least he should be given another position, where he's good at. A messaging router, perhaps? :D
At least if I were a prime minister and he was working for me and representing one of my leagues of extraordinary gentlemen, I kind of get rid of him. That's anyway a type of thinking that these right-wing business-focused seem to follow anyway.

And that should not be something personal, the whole thing is not personal at all, it's a matter of common justice, I suppose. The point is that the news in Finland seem to be focusing to the wrong end of the whole thing. And that's mr Kanerva's personal rights to act the way he wants as a human being. Well, he kind of resigned from those common man duties when he volunteered and was chosen to be representative of Finland. Because that is what is expected from him, and that is what he gets paid off. At least he should have some common working ethics told him to follow in the first place.
