CJ, Those who moralize publicly about other people's moral failings are held to a stricter standard. They shouldn't have it any other way. It is what they are advocating, isn't it?

I'd rather have everyone held to a stricter standard. That includes high moral standards and high intellectual standards.

We'll all fall short, but hey, nobody is perfect. Besides, if the only sin is hypocrisy, then the most "righteous" guy out there is Larry Flynt.

Bennett and his book of virtues comes to mind (gambling addictions notwithstanding)
