"When Monogomy becomes Monotomy"

After the recent Elliot Spitzer scandal there has been talk of a day reserved for unfaithfulness. It's called 'Mistress Day' and is apparently the day that Spitzer's rendezvous with his high-end call girl (who happens to be from my county) took place. It's "celebrated" the day before Valentine's Day so that your mistress can still get the love and attention, the latter perhaps being a more appropriate adjective, that the holiday highlights. This allows the adulterers to so kindly reserve the next day for sloppy seconds with their girlfriends and wives. The Hallmark equivalent behind this day is a website called Ashleymadison.com. It's an agency like match.com but caters exclusively to people who are either looking to find someone that they can cheat on their spouse with or are single and looking for someone tied-down that they can freely fool around with. With 2 million registered members Ashley Madison proclaims itself as the best place to start if you're looking for someone other than your partner to fulfill unmet needs. It also states that their "role is to keep [cheaters] from taking unnecessary risks while they explore the feelings that got them to our website to begin with". This is yet another perfect example of how every day seems to be one more step towards rewriting this country's manifesto to read "We stand primarily for making a profit regardless of consequences or ethics".
