I don't think it's a proven truth that most men cheat on their wives. I don't and my friends don't. That kind of thinking is just why we got the Clinton plague and why we need the Bush cure.

I couldn't tell you. But i suspect that it is one of those 'statistics' that people use to justify their own actions to themselves to some extent.

Like:
Most people have used marijuana
Most people cheat on their taxes

and so on.

Personally if people want to smoke pot, or be polygamous it doesn't really bother me at all.

It also doesn't bother me if someone wants to spend time and mental energy comforting and fooling themselves with quotes like the ones above.

But it does bother me when one of these people tries to force me to go along with them down this path of justification foolishness.

The idea that because more people do a thing makes it more or less bad or good is a good example of sheep mentality. I for one do not want to be a lemming. If I am going to be wrong, I would rather be wrong all on my own. ;)

I also do not cheat on my wife. By God's grace I never will.
