This is so very well written. It says what I'd like to say, but have never been able to.

I don't care what ANY two CONSENTING adults do in their bedroom. Never have. But Byron Noem never spoke up against his wife's actions either, and therefore, in my mind, I have little compassion for him. Because when you don't speak up, you enable.

It truly is almost unbelievable to me when these idiots get caught. I don't think it's because they are stupid. I think it's because they think they are untouchable; therefore, I take a little bit of satisfaction when it happens. If nothing else, as I said in another thread: This one's for Cricket!

Karma does indeed bite sometimes.
