Spitzer Spirals Downward--Lessons for You & Me

A story line that goes back to David and Bathsheba and beyond--powerful male gambles everything on a fling in the hay. Yes, many women are attracted to men in power (even if they look like Mr. Spitzer). But it takes two to tango. "What was he thinking?"--the question that always gets asked.
An acquaintance of mine was describing a recent hunting jaunt: The guys were in an open Jeep, scouting for rabbits. They saw a pair mating in the distance. As they approached, the female broke away from the male's grasp to flee for her life, and the male was also running behind her, but not to flee. He soon tackled her and, uh, picked up where they had left off. This gave the hunters a chance to catch up, and soon both of our furry friends were in a stew.
The moral of the story is that sex drive can drive you off a cliff. It's like a drug or alcohol--you do things you otherwise wouldn't think of doing under it's influence. Most guys wouldn't think of using a prostitute, but adultery is like a plague in America's homes, destroying families everywhere.
These three short chapters in the Biblical Proverbs are a powerful antidote to this influence.
