And, it's hard when someone like Senator Craig exhibits this type of private behavior in a public place...how are we supposed to respect him, and even though everyone deserves the benefit of the doubt, things like this don't exactly make the (alleged) transgressor a saint in anyone's eyes. Sometimes I just wish I didn't have to hear about this stuff at ALL.Lil ol' me...https://www.blogger.com/profile/05375131775477058146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16751830.post-80542391798103799282007-08-29T21:35:00.000-07:002007-08-29T21:35:00.000-07:00Yes, I think it is the whole discretion issue with...Yes, I think it is the whole discretion issue with me. I don't think actions are all that different these days than say 20 or 30 years ago, I just think people feel more free to talk about all the things they do...as if everyone wants to know their sexual escapades.

Just another example of innocence disappearing. I'm sure none of us looks at rest-stops or public restrooms the same way after all of this 'stuff' has been happening. Ironically in this day and age where there are more people on this planet than ever before, the trust factor between people is fast diminishing. We never know who or what a 'perv' is. So we end up walking wide circles around everyone else.

Learned behavior or born that way. One day I suppose there will be a definitive answer.<BR/><BR/>Until then decency alone would indicate certain actions should be PRIVATE! Whew.
