I feel sorry for Craig, myself. I feel sorry that he is a being of such little character, that having recognized that he was drawn to doing something that he would flog another for, he couldn't resist doing so.

Most of us are capable of asking ourselves, "Gad, why am I even thinking of this?" and finding the answer (and a better way of dealing with it). We let our imaginations wander a short way down a path we know will create sorrow for us, and we catch ourselves short. Capable of figuring out what it is that's making the path even semi-attractive, we think of it as an epiphany.

We recognize that we are feeling insecure, unsexy, or canned (which Craig may well have felt ... that he'd pretended to be on a path of righteous indignation that he now had to live with).

I have no argument with any kind of sexual behavior that is mutually consensual, but self-righteousness is disgusting. PRETENSE at being righteous, flagellating others who do not toe a line you draw, and creating a FOLLOWING of those who want to trust you, while finding thrill in deviating from your own" righteousness" is something worse than disgusting.

... not to mention being one of the reasons we need to be more careful when we decide to vote for people who loudly announce their own morals while pronouncing that others have none. Personally, I have never trusted anyone of that ilk.

Too often, I find reason to be glad I didn't.
