My gosh, I can’t believe it has been five years (to the day, no less). No one wants tomes; they want sound bites, hence the popularity of Twitter, which is being eclipsed by Snapchat (and now that I sent my youngest son one, he has sworn off that.)

I have a cousin who wrote me and asked, "What in the world does a guy get for $3700?" Of course she was referring to the Eliot Spitzer embroilment. My response was that I did not know. I didn’t even know how to guess. But I think I now may have found the answer. Russ Alan Prince wrote a book, The Sky’s the Limit. He says that out of a survey of 661 who own private jets, 34% of men, and 20% of the women who are super wealthy use escort services. When trying to ferret out why they do, he discovered that the most popular reason was "unique experiences" (71%), followed by "higher quality experiences"(57%). "With the wealthy," Mr. Prince says "it’s all about power and control and new experiences." Interesting. It was also interesting that Dr. Laura suggested that we do not know what was happening at their home. How nurturing and attentive was Silda Spitzer to Eliot. Why did he find the necessity to do this? I still say there is some issue in his family of origin that will shed some light, I just don’t know what those issues are.

Well, the Eliot Spitzer imbroglio is all over the news. I kind of feel sorry for him, but my heart really goes out to his wife and their three children. Did you see her face and demeanor?
I remember one time hearing Rabbi Friedman, bless his soul, say that the crusaders in society virtually all of the time are trying hard to address issues in their own background (e.g., Jimmy Swaggert, Ted Haggard, Chuck Colson, etc.). Here, in past years, Spitzer so aggressively pushed for ethics and fair play, and now he is seen for the hypocrite that he is. Makes me think of a passage where Jesus says, "Don't pick on people, jump on their failures, criticize their faults—unless, of course, you want the same treatment. That critical spirit has a way of boomeranging."
