[StBernard] Expanding higher ed access for low income students

[Westley Annis]

There's the difference between you and myself, John.

I'm not perfect, but to hold this lustful relationship can help foster a few
feelings between relationships: distrust, envy, even loss of identifying
where one's marriage vows to worship one's spouse. Even fantasies can lead
to argument, and feelings of inadequacy and security. Why interject these
feelings into a relationship?

It's not that holding such fantasies dear to one's heart, but could at some
point plant a seed emotionally that leads the hurtful spouse away from the
trust that was gained at the onset of the marriage institution. Even within
(and God forbid) live-in relationships, hurting one's feelings through
continuous brags and rants about Hollywood starts and other celebrities may
seem like a normal thing to experience.

I as one wouldn't want to be on "the losing end" of a rant about lust for
some celebrity. (No, it's NOT good clean fun, no matter how one tries to
rationalize the fantasy because if given an opportunity and OK, one would
certainly give into adultery or breach of relationship).

I have NO hang-up/insecurity any more than the next guy/gal. Because I
believe that if one has lust for a celebrity, than it's a spillover or
likely occurrence that a temptation will accept even less targets than a
celebrity. What's next, a neighbor or acquaintance of one's friend or
family? Chances are good it's a likelihood and not a long shot if one's
constitution is weak or the time is perfect for the occurrence.

Therefore, it's bad enough to have feelings of fantasies (which one can
justify that no one gets hurt by drooling over another's wife (Ten
Commandment material)>, It's Another to act upon the fantasy before one's
love or spouse believing it's just peachy to seek an acceptance of them to
escalate the lust to a new level (as if a prayer is answered if the
celebrity gives the OK to continue the advances). 

I would spend the energy drooling over the love one. It's healthier for the
relationship knowing the attention is well-spent the way God has intended
the relationship to be so.

Good story if it were Hollywood and one appreciates as much or more
attention to Jeri Ryan than the spouse. Go for it? Is it "game on"? Why not
just spend one's lifetime stalking Don Johnson or Jeri Ryan? That way, one
gets to go to jail and can appreciate what they had at home all alone. Doing
one's Homework is always preferable to taking a test with the chance of
making an "F".
