		<description>Good point, John.  I thought the same thing when I read Mike&#039;s comment.

At the same time, I completely disregard the notion of trading &quot;up&quot; or &quot;down&quot; when speaking of human relationships.  People are hurting and do stupid things when they&#039;re hurting.  But nothing anyone says or does makes them more or less.

I don&#039;t like the idea of &quot;grading&quot; humans.  We throw around terms like &quot;white trash&quot; or &quot;nigger&quot; without even remembering that God loves the guy to whom I addressed this post and even Britney, too.

(I didn&#039;t mean to go pious on ya.  I&#039;ve just been thinking a lot lately about God&#039;s love and how we misuse it.)</description>

		<description>MikeT: What makes you think Britney is a class act? I think she chose down to her level.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t believe that Heidi was the only one here that got the joke with his screen name.  He actually posts it as &quot;WindRider95&quot; because he&#039;s pretty flighty.  (And thanks for expounding on it Heidi.  We make a great comedy team.  Let&#039;s take it on the road to geek conventions everywhere!)</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t know about it being much of an insult to see your ex trade down. Think about Brittney Spears and Kevin Federline. She could have had any man that she wanted, but chose that piece of trailer trash instead. Supposedly he was celebrating at a strip club the night his first legitimate child was being born. Sometimes you gotta just shake your head and realize that you can never make some people who have strictly beer tastes happy with a champaigne lifestyle.</description>

		<description>Never fear, delicate readers.  There are no &quot;compromising pictures&quot; of me &quot;floating around the internet.&quot;  I&#039;m the only one that has them now and I don&#039;t intend to subject anyone to them unless strongly provoked.</description>

		<description>“If I thought he was capable of loving her, I might let her go.”

There is nothing worse than seeing an ex trade down.  It would be bad enough to lose a gal to a better man.  You could understand that.  When they go for some POS its adding insult to injury.
