Message: [QUOTE="Orangeman, post: 2668555, member: 972"] We are a society that seeks to punish success at all costs, fueled be a for-profit media empire and an over-zealous legal & law enforcement empire. And the irony is that our society is becoming "ultra-moral" on the public-facing side of itself, just as it becomes amoral on the private side of it. So, it's all-good to do it, i.e. you can live with yourself, BUT, if the media finds out about it and tweets something you are now unemployable and must move on...primarily due to the enhanced legal risk associated with the fame. It's all OK unless you're "caught". Basically, there are now too many "journalists" and too many lawyers & laws, and they all need to be fed, so any perceived violation, even if it's not, is driven to extremes until the person and family are ruined.
