	NBJC Commentary on Mark Foley
		The recent Mark Foley scandal is an example of the abuse of power and the lack of personal responsibility which surrounds it.
		Foley’s behavior was highly inappropriate and he should be punished under the fullest extent of the law.
		Although conservative groups would label Foley’s behavior as being typical of gay people, one should not look at the disgraced Foley and make the assumption or the conclusion that the entire gay community is obsessed with underage youth.
