Today in the 'news', I have seen 3 different commentators and/or emails from listeners categorically state that (paraphrased)"online sex is cheating and immoral, just as much as if it were physical in person."
None of these seemed to bother saying "in my own personal opinion" or even admit that different value systems and circumstances might be relevant. I heard ONE commentator allow as how it 'might' depend on whether one's spouse would likely be upset at certain activities.

Whether Rep Weiner keeps his job or not, it is interesting that so many people have simplistic, black and white views of morality and decency and can barely comprehend - much less tolerate - attitudes that differ from their own. I take the trouble to say all this because it illustrates a general problem inherent in choosing and evaluating elected officials. I worry that the traits of intelligence & competence to do the job are far less meaningful to the average voter than their superficial claims to some religion, moral system and ability to bring money to their district.

....oh, by the way, I DO think Weiner has handled it all poorly and used bad judgment in his 'hobby'. I do not think it is grounds for resignation... so far... but I sorta think it would affect his chances for re-election next year.
