@druid by that same logic, then, don't you throw a lot of other stuff under the bus?

isn't the same damage-to-the-soul being done by actors who play pretend at being in love for the entertainment of others? after all, being in love is beautiful and fundamentally sacred-to-self, too. or isn't the same damage-to-the-soul being done by songwriters imagining a bad breakup to write a song about? are they also betraying themselves by selling that fundamental sacred-to-self beauty?
